What is the Honorable Mentor Award?

Presented at HBA's annual high-profile Woman of the Year (WOTY) event, the Honorable Mentor award is a highly-coveted industry accolade recognizing a male ally who demonstrates a long-term commitment to advancing women in the workforce, is dedicated to developing, mentoring and promoting women in the industry, and is supportive of the HBA’s mission. 

Created in 2001, this award salutes the many contributions and gender parity progress the honoree has achieved throughout his career.

Historically, Honorable Mentors engage with the HBA in a number of ways throughout the year and join an elite group of previous winners who continue to participate in the community for years to come.
 

Benefits of the recognition:

• Keynote role at the Woman of the Year luncheon
• Invitations to all HBA reception(s) and events associated with the Woman of the Year luncheon

• Invitation for a three-year term on the HBA advisory board to provide guidance to the HBA board of directors
