CEW’s Achiever Awards is where beauty’s iconic leaders take center stage, an event that is central to CEW’s brand and mission. While the event centers on a moment to stand together to applaud the changemakers who continue to lead with purpose and impact it also provides the venue to spark meaningful connections.
To amplify women’s leadership in the beauty industry, CEW will publish a 2026 Women’s Leadership Awards Digital Journal, featuring data from McKinsey & Company’s Women in the Workplace study. The journal will also spotlight this year’s Achiever Awards and Visionary Honorees, sharing insights on their career journeys, pivotal inflection points, and advice for navigating workplace challenges.
