For almost 50 years, Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest has recognized the achievements of local women with the Rogers Women of the Year Awards.
Following a sold-out ceremony on the evening of May 23, 2024, Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest announced the winners and their accomplishments. This year’s recipients include a senior leader at the University of Waterloo, three alumni and a former member of Waterloo’s Board of Governors.
“On behalf of the University of Waterloo, I’m pleased to congratulate my colleague Nenone Donaldson and all the inspiring women from our university community on their well-deserved awards and nominations,” said Vivek Goel, president and vice-chancellor of the University of Waterloo. “I commend their passion and contributions to their respective fields and to our community.”
