NAWBO D/FW honors selected women business owners annually, usually in the spring or summer of each year. The following awards may be presented:

Woman Business Owner of the Year Award
This is the highest chapter award, given to the woman business owner who meets the following criteria:

• Owns a stable growing business
• Is creative and innovative in business practices
• Has balance in life (meaning able to have a good home life, business life and have opportunity to give back to community)
• Shows proven success
• Is a role model for other women in business

Chapter Architect Award

President’s Award
 
Pink Poodle Award
This is a “traveling” award. Each year it will move from member to member. Just as the Pink Poodle is beautiful, generous, loyal, and has style, all recipients of this award are of equal character.

Public Policy Advocate of the Year
 
Star Award
This is an award that will not necessarily be awarded every year, but will certainly be awarded when warranted. This award is given to someone who is not a NAWBO member or a Corporate Partner, but is a friend of NAWBO. This person supports the NAWBO mission and the NAWBO Board.

Above & Beyond Awards are given to those committee members in each NAWBO D/FW committee who truly went the extra mile during the current fiscal year.  

Awards are selected by the president, her Board of Directors, and/or an awards committee in some cases, with the exception of the President's Award, which is selected solely at the discretion of the president.
