Porsche & Ladies Drive present 3rd Empowering Women Award

For founder Sandra Stella-Triebl, "The League of Leading Ladies LLL" should not be just another business club with yet another annual meeting for a few select female entrepreneurs. So the entrepreneur, publisher and journalist created a concept for a conference that was also open to non-members and both women and men. It was also to be a "high-caliber, multi-day event with speakers from all over the world".

This year's League of Leading Ladies Conference focused on "The Art of Abundance", how to draw on the full in times of crisis. Various speakers demonstrated how to deal with the current challenges and regain strength and energy.

Empowering Women Award for gender medicine pioneer

Since 2022, the "Empowering Woman Award" has been presented at the League of Leading Ladies Conference in cooperation with Porsche Switzerland. The award goes to a woman who supports and empowers other women. Nominations for this award are open to the public, and a small jury consisting of Uli Rotzinger from the Blick Group, the deputy chairwoman of the TimeEditor-in-chief Charlotte Parnack and LLL founder Sandra Stella-Triebl make the selection.

This year, over 300 women from the Ladies Drive Network were nominated for the Empowering Women Award 2024. The reasons for the nominations include respect, recognition and the desire to make women like them visible and to support them in their work without reservation.

Out of all these nominations, the jury chose Dr. Antonella Santuccione Chadha. The scientist founded the Women's Brain Project (WBP) in 2016 with the aim of investigating the connection between gender and brain and mental illnesses. The core of the research is that diseases never affect women and men in the same way and therefore medications also work differently. As a pioneer of gender medicine and because of her work and impact on women around the world, Chadha was awarded the EWA.
