Inspire – Women Leadership Awards

The Inspire Awards made their Omaha debut on October 26, 2022, at the CHI Health Center Omaha, celebrating exceptional women across ten distinct categories. These awards highlight individuals whose professional achievements and community contributions have made Omaha a better place to live and thrive.

In its inaugural year, nearly 200 public nominations were submitted, showcasing the incredible talent and dedication of women in the Omaha area. From these nominations, the Inspire Advisory Board selected five finalists in each category and honored one overall winner per category.

The prestigious Woman of the Year award was also determined by the Advisory Board, recognizing a standout leader whose impact resonates deeply within the community.

Join us for the 2025 Inspire Awards ceremony on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at the CHI Health Center Omaha, as we continue to celebrate and honor the women who inspire us all.
