The weVENTURE Women's Business Center, located in the Florida Tech Bisk College of Business, is committed to being the leading voice and resource for women on the Space and Treasure Coasts. Since 2012, we have proudly organized the Women Who Rock Awards in Brevard County to shine a spotlight on local women who are accomplishing remarkable feats and leading through their actions. Quality nominations that include details help your candidate stand out! This may mean you need to speak with your nominees in order to provide details that help demonstrate the nominee's record for the applicable award category.
Community response to this event over the last few years has been overwhelming, literally and figuratively! Last year we received 76 nominations! Making sure each nominee had a personalized Social Media shout out and comp ticket was a challenge for our small staff and event budget. So, this year only the 4 finalists in each of the 6 categories and 1 new legacy leader will receive a comp ticket and be publicly announced in advance - the top 25 of 2025!! However, ALL nominees will receive an invitation to purchase a discounted ticket ($20 off) we will have a special surprise to recognize and celebrate ALL the nominees in attendance at the luncheon!
Tickets to attend the luncheon are now on sale HERE We encourage you to purchase your event ticket now, and consider inviting your nominee to join you or purchasing their ticket as a gift. Susan on the weVENTURE WBC team, can provide a code to unlock the discounted price, and it will be sent to all nominees when she confirms their nomination. It is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the women who make an impact in our lives!
