Industry Awards
About the Awards
In 2009, Women In Defense Michigan established the WID Michigan Industry Awards to recognize defense and national security professionals who distinguish themselves in their field and help their organizations achieve critical business objectives and goals. Winners are announced each year at the WID Michigan Black Tie Gala. Crain’s Detroit Business has been an avid supporter and sponsors the awards each year.
Award Categories
- Product Development: Exceptional technical contributions to a specific product design/development effort
- Business Development: Successfully sales of a new or existing non-defense product/service into the defense sector and/or as an instrumental factor in the organization’s defense growth business
- Innovation Award: Innovation and excellence which has delivered a significant organizational or business improvement in any aspect of business (manufacturing, quality, safety, training, etc.)
How do we select finalists and winners?
A selection committee of Women In Defense members and industry professionals consider qualifications based on information provided on the nomination form. The best candidates are invited to be interviewed. After all interviews are complete, finalists (and winners) are chosen by the committee. All finalists are notified and invited to attend the WID Michigan Annual Black Tie Gala, where the winners are announced.
