Asian Women of Achievement Awards
Asian Women of Achievement Awards
"Co-founded by Pinky Lilani OBE in 1999, the Asian Women of Achievement Awards is a truly exciting and inspirational event that takes place annually in London. The awards applaud and celebrate the commitment, dedication and determination of Asian women from all over the country and from all walks of life. The awards have grown in strength and scope to become a key event in the diary and a sell-out each year.
