The Women in Renewable Energy (WiRE) Women of Distinction Awards recognize and celebrate professional women working in the energy sector who go above and beyond business-as-usual.

The winner will receive her award at the Canadian Hydropower Association’s CHA Forum, November 21-22 2018 in Ottawa. Deadline for nominations: September 10, 2018.
Launched in 2013, WiRE forges partnerships with a spectrum of renewable energy industry associations, other related networking groups for professional women from across the energy sector, and academic providers.
