Nominations Now Open for 2020 Top Women in Grocery

Nominations are now being accepted for Progressive Grocer’s 2020 Top Women in Grocery awards program, which recognizes women who are blazing trails across segments of the grocery and food retail industries.

The nominations are open to women across all segments of the food, food retail, and grocery industries – retailer/wholesaler and supplier/vendor communities – who have demonstrated above-and-beyond achievements between April 2019 and March 1, 2020. Three categories are being recognized:

• Senior-Level Executives (title of Vice President or higher)
• Rising Stars (titles lower than Vice President and Area/Region Director)
• Store Managers (titles of Store Manager/Director)

Past Top Women in Grocery winners are eligible to enter again, but are required to include a minimum of three new and significant accomplishments/achievements in the past 12 months that have not been previously recognized.

All nominations must provide details of extraordinary achievements/accomplishments, including leading innovative corporate initiatives, execution/delivery of outstanding financial and/or strategic objectives, astute problem-solving abilities, and meeting exceptional performance benchmarks, all accomplished between April 2019 and March 1, 2020.

This year’s winners will be recognized in the June print edition of Progressive Grocer, showcasing the overall excellence and continued achievement among female movers and shakers in the North American retail food industry. Winners also will be honored at an evening gala awards celebration on Nov. 5 at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando, Fla. A daytime leadership development and networking program will precede the gala.

The deadline for nominations is March 1, 2020.
