MARGARET Hirsch, COE of the Hirsch Group and a champion for women’s empowerment, was recently conferred with the Global Inspirational Women Leadership Award and the United States Congressional Commendation Award by the UN’s Centre for Economic and Leadership Development.
She was also nominated as one of Amazon Watch Magazine’s top 100 Most influential Women in Emerging Economies, which is an elite list of audacious and inspiring women leaders from diverse developing regions of Asia, Africa, Middle East and South America, who are using their positions to transform their communities.
Some past CELD awardees include the former President of Malawi, Joyce Banda, and first ladies from Ghana, Tanzania, Niger, Burundi and Namibia, all of whom have taken risks to build a more sustainable future for their regions.
The awards will be presented during the South America, Africa, Middle East, Asia Women’s Summit in Dubai in December.
