"Women are under represented in business, the arts and politics.

These awards help to highlight and reward the achievements of women and encourage others to pursue leadership roles and to strive for greater representation.

I encourage all to nominate and get involved"
Dame Kelly Holmes, DBE

Welcome

Dods & Scottish Widows would like to congratulate all the winners of this year’s Women in Public Life Awards.

The Dods & Scottish Widows Women in Public Life Awards celebrate women leaders in society and seek to recognise and promote the work of women in politics, business, the civil service and community leadership.

The Awards which are now in their third year, aim to highlight the achievements of outstanding women role models amongst us.

The Awards Ceremony will be held on the evening of Wednesday 4^th March 2009.

Dods & Scottish Widows hope that many will become involved in the 2009 Awards process, thus honouring the great women in public life.
