17th Annual Women to Watch Awards

Recognize a MassCPAs member who has made an outstanding impact on the accounting profession, their workplace, community and/or the advancement of women as leaders. While the program is called Women to Watch, we welcome nominations of individuals of all genders who are dedicated allies and advocates for supporting women in the profession.

Nominations will be accepted through Monday, June 30, 2025. To nominate a phenomenal member in the profession, click here. 

This year, we’ve refreshed the categories to better spotlight excellence at every stage:

• Emerging Leaders – Professionals with 2–8 years of experience
• Experienced Leaders – Professionals with 9–14 years of experience
• Trailblazers – Professionals with 15+ years of experience

Criteria for nominations can include (but are not limited to):

• Active involvement with the Society
• Mentoring of other professionals
• Leadership or involvement in workplace initiatives and improvements
• Overall contributions to the profession and workplace
• Public or community service
• Involvement with their alma mater or other colleges and universities

New this year: We’re using a new nomination platform that makes the process easier and more flexible. You can:

• Start your nomination, save your progress and come back to complete it anytime before the deadline
• Invite others to collaborate by submitting supporting information on your nominee’s behalf

These new features are designed to make submitting a nomination as smooth and efficient as possible.

Winners will be selected by a panel of past award recipients and MassCPAs leadership, and will be recognized during our Women's Leadership Summit on Tuesday, October 28, at the Marriott Newton. 

Please note: Nominees must be MassCPAs members who are actively engaged with the Society. All nominations will remain anonymous during the judging process.

Due to the large pool of qualified candidates we receive nominations for each year and since we can only award a select few, we are unfortunately unable to award the same person twice for the same category. To view a list of previous winners, click here.
