* Diversity & Inclusion Award- Nicole Torres Byrne
* Business Leader Award-Dianne Vallejo
* Environmental Contribution Award-Melanie Stagnetto Soiza
* Woman Entrepreneurship Award – Dominique Penalver
* Social Responsibility Award- Monique Grambow

The Awards programme will culminate with a glitzy Gala Dinner to be held on 5th March 2024 (ahead of International Women’s Day) at the Sunborn Hotel, where the Award Ceremony will take place, with the awards to be presented by the Minister of Equality, Christian Santos.
Additional activities organised by the Ladies That Rock The Rock Team include:
- A series of Workshops for Ladies that focuses on building leadership presence and impact and on enhancing networking, communication and negotiation skills and lead with confidence. The workshops involve interactive exercises and powerful group discussions and will take place in early March.
