2025 HBA Rising Star & Luminary Celebration Toolkit

You have the unique opportunity to gain visibility for your company’s commitment to gender equity and for your celebrated honorees by sharing news of their recognition in social and traditional media channels.  

To make it easy for you, we have created sample content that your Communications team can use to amplify these celebratory messages.  
 
In this toolkit: 

Below are two examples of social media posts to accompany your award winner’s personalized graphic. Feel free to customize as you see fit, but please tag HBA and use #HBAimpact and #HBAWOTY25 to get visibility among the global HBA community at large. 

Note: The HBA will announce the 2025 Rising Stars and Luminaries on 27 March 2025, so we kindly ask you to hold off on posting until then. 

After the HBA shares the official Rising Stars and Luminaries announcement on 27 March, we encourage our partners to share the news with their local and trade media outlets. Below is a release template to customize.  

Please note that you should make the changes in numbers and copy below based on your honorees—if they are Rising Stars or Luminaries.
