Year-Round Exposure
Go beyond the banquet. Join NWIIWA’s mission to advance women in leadership through mentorship, education, networking, and visibility.

Why Sponsor?

Women influence the majority of buying decisions. 
They lead teams, manage budgets, and shape the future of every industry. 
If your clients, consumers, employees, or partners include women—your presence here matters. 

The Northwest Indiana Influential Women Awards Banquet is the region’s largest and most respected platform dedicated to recognizing that impact. It’s where hundreds of business leaders gather to celebrate influence, leadership, and progress—and where companies like yours are recognized for standing behind it. 

This is your opportunity to: 

  • Strengthen your brand with a powerful, engaged audience 

  • Connect with regional leaders and decision-makers across industries 

  • Demonstrate your company’s values in action 

  • Position your business as a supporter of progress, inclusion, and growth 

Supporting the Influential Women Awards is about more than visibility—it’s about impact. At NiSource, we believe in uplifting the voices of women who are driving innovation, growth, and change across every industry. Partnering with NWIIWA allows us to stand alongside a powerful community of leaders who are shaping the future of our region—and we’re proud to be part of that movement.
— Aida Abuelizam, NiSource
