CAAWS has announced the names of the twenty women selected to the Most Influential Women in Sport and Physical Activity List (MIW) for 2011. The objective of the list is to focus on women who are leaders and role models making a difference on the Canadian or international scene. The women on the MIW are influential women who contributed in a significant way to sport and physical activity in the year 2011.
"CAAWS publishes its Most Influential Women List to celebrate and honour Canadian women who are influencing change in their area of expertise of sport and physical activity," said CAAWS Executive Director Karin Lofstrom (Ottawa ON). "These leaders share a passion for sport and physical activity-and use it to improve the lives of others. These women are game changers who motivate others to become leaders."
Every year, the MIW list includes athletes, officials, coaches, politicians, professors, administrators and volunteers. The final list was compiled by a CAAWS selection panel, from both public nominations and from contributions from knowledgeable sport and physical activity leaders.
