- Create tangible change in just 24 months
- Showcase your leadership methodology on a global stage

The most successful projects leverage your existing expertise, connections, and passions. Consider:
- What issues affecting Filipina women have you already witnessed?
- Which of your skills could create the most immediate impact?
- What networks or resources do you already have access to?
2. CHOOSE FOCUS OVER SCOPE
Rather than trying to solve everything, consider these high-impact focus areas:
- Skills Development: Workshops teaching marketable skills
- Resource Networks: Creating access to education, healthcare, or business opportunities
- Advocacy Initiatives: Addressing specific policy issues affecting Filipina women

Your Global Pitch Project isn't expected to solve every challenge immediately. The most successful projects start focused, achieve early wins, and grow organically. Your initiative will evolve—what matters is beginning the journey.

O. NOMINEE'S THREE REFERENCES (important and will be contacted)
FWN requires a 360-degree reference model:
- The 1st reference is a current boss or former boss
- The 2nd reference is a Direct Report - someone who reported to her in her current or previous work in the last 2 years; or her business if self-employed
- The 3rd reference is a peer professional outside of her place of work, someone she may know in an organization they both belong or a nominee's client.
Please have the Nominee ALERT her three references so the Selection Committee can contact them to learn more about her background and accomplishments.

If the Nominee's references do not respond, this will delay the approval decision.

Nominators or relatives cannot serve as references.
