WomELLE 100 Women
The WomELLE 100 Women recognizes one hundred women whose work has made a meaningful impact through leadership, business, service, and their communities. Applications are open to women from every profession and industry.
Recognizing work
that deserves
to be seen.
Every year, women spend countless hours building businesses, leading teams, serving their communities, and making a difference. Much of that work happens without recognition.
The WomELLE 100 Women celebrates women whose dedication, leadership, and contributions have made a meaningful impact. This annual list honors 100 women from different industries whose work has influenced the people, organizations, and communities around them.
Whether you own a business, lead an organization, work in a profession you love, or give your time to help others — this is an opportunity to share your story and receive recognition for what you have accomplished.
Any woman doing
meaningful work.
Applications are open to women from every profession and industry. You do not need to be well known to apply. We believe meaningful work happens every day, often without public recognition.
An independent
review process.
Complete your application and pay the applicable fee. All applications are reviewed equally, regardless of when they are submitted within the open period.
Every application receives careful review. The committee considers professional accomplishments, leadership, community involvement, service, and the overall impact each applicant has made.
One hundred women are selected based solely on what is submitted. Honorees are announced November 6 and celebrated at the virtual event on December 11.
Recognition
opens doors.
Being named to the WomELLE 100 Women allows you to share your accomplishment with clients, employers, colleagues, and your professional network. It strengthens your professional profile and connects you with a community of women who support and encourage one another.
Whether you are growing your career, expanding your business, or reaching new goals — recognition helps others discover the work you are doing.

the deadline.
The application fee covers the review process and consideration for inclusion on the 2026 list. The earlier you apply, the more you save.
