CWE Andrea C. Silbert Rising Star Award Winners
In 2000, CWE began awarding clients annually with the Rising Star Award. The award was renamed after one of our co-founders Andrea C. Silbert, when she left CWE for other endeavors.
The award is presented annually to a client(s) who have shown success and created economic opportunity. These woman represent all of the women who are lifting up the world - and the very reason we strive to make a difference with everyone in the CWE community.
