She's On Her Way Award

The She’s On Her Way Award, organized by the Delaware Commission for Women, recognizes the achievements and celebrates the contributions of talented young women leaders making a difference in Delaware. All nominees must be young women between 18 and 30 years of age by June 30, 2026. Nominees must be current Delaware residents of at least three years who exemplify integrity, leadership, and a commitment to strengthening their community. The Delaware Commission for Women reviews all nominations, selects the award recipients and a celebratory luncheon is held in June.

We encourage nominations that reflect the rich diversity of Delaware’s communities and experiences, including individuals from different cultural backgrounds, abilities, professions, and perspectives. By embracing this diversity, we aim to honor young women whose unique contributions strengthen and inspire our state.
