2005’s Top Women in Business and Government, set for release in August, focuses on organisations that have successfully implemented gender equity policies and how these policies have benefited their business operations. It is these policies, as exemplified by arivia.kom, as well as other key empowerment practices, that are vital to the successful progression of women in business and to the creation of an enabling framework that sees women successfully participate in the mainstream economy.

Arivia.kom, like so many other dynamic organisations, reflects the commitment of a broad range of South African companies across various industries and sectors, to answer the call of government to actively initiative a change in their business operations. A change that sees discriminatory economic practice become a thing of the past; and a change that seeks to grow the economy into one that successfully incorporates the equal participation of all South Africans. Their commitment is a benchmark to which all should aspire.

Top Women in Business and Government distinguishes itself from its competitors through its strict autonomy and entry criteria – along with a key focus on the incredible gender empowerment work done by government and the female leaders within government. The publication provides its clients with an unequaled opportunity to be profiled as the pioneers they are in gender policy and transformation, alongside the nation’s public and private sector empowerment leaders.

Organisations that use Top Women in Business and Government to profile their top women role-players are showcasing their commitment to both gender empowerment and broad-base empowerment. Their inclusion in the publication marks their investment in the value-creation offered through diversification in human capital.

Top Women in Business and Government will soon be announcing the details of the annual Awards Gala to be held later this year. Watch this space for updates on the Awards nominees and judges, as well as how to secure tickets to this glamorous event.

Top Women in Business and Government would like to take this opportunity to thank its sponsors who are an integral part of the publication.
