Paradigm Award™ & Scholarship
The Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce Paradigm Award™ is presented annually to a singular woman in business whose outstanding professional and personal achievements serve as a model for success.
A nominee for the Paradigm Award™ is distinguished as an influential executive of a profit-making enterprise with a strong local economic impact. Her leadership and dedication to a variety of interests contribute significantly to the socio-economic prosperity of the Greater Philadelphia region. She is respected in her profession and throughout the community for her commitment to excellence and her vision for women and future generations.
Through the generosity and determination of many individuals and corporations, the Paradigm Award program has grown to include the Paradigm Scholarship for Working Women. To enhance and benefit the career aspirations of working women in the Greater Philadelphia area, this merit scholarship is awarded annually to women who wish to complete their undergraduate degrees while working full-time for Chamber member companies. Scholarship recipients are announced at the Paradigm Award™ celebration each year in the spring.
