The IBA Woman of the Year award celebrates a woman in banking who excels at her profession, is active in the community, and supports other women to reach their full potential – whether in banking or other fields. This is a bank-wide opportunity with emphasis on ability to lift other women to help them succeed.
Nominations for our 2026 award will be accepted through Friday, Sept. 11. CLOSED
Requirements
- Nominee’s name, bank, title, and number of years of banking service;
- A list of community organizations supported by the nominee, including type of service rendered and length of time of service;
- Description of how the nominee goes above and beyond in support of lifting other females to their full potential – e.g., through mentoring, peer-to-peer exchange, volunteerism with girl-focused youth groups, or other means of championing for women.
Nominate yourself or another woman in banking by completing the form below; you may email optional supporting documentation to Laurie Rees at LRees@indiana.bank.
