These awards recognize outstanding women leaders who advance innovation, access, and economic impact for women-owned businesses across the region.
The milestone 25th Anniversary event celebrated GWBC®’s commitment to supporting and certifying Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs) across Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Dr. Dawood’s achievements reflect her long-standing dedication to empowering women entrepreneurs, strengthening supplier ecosystems, and expanding opportunities in government contracting.
Dr. Dawood’s leadership has been recognized widely across Georgia. The Atlanta City Council officially declared March 7 as “Dr. Nazeera Dawood Day,” honoring her contributions to economic empowerment and community advancement. Fulton County Government proclaimed May 17 as “Vendorship Appreciation Day,” and the Georgia State House adopted House Resolution 591 acknowledging her public service, civic leadership, and model of inclusive entrepreneurship.
As Trailblazer of the Year, Dr. Dawood is recognized for reshaping business landscapes through innovation and impact. Her professional journey from medicine and public health into public-sector innovation and social entrepreneurship has influenced government procurement, community development, and equitable access to economic opportunity.
As WBE Advocate of the Year, she is celebrated for her active mentorship, hands-on support, and commitment to elevating women-owned businesses. Through coaching, capacity-building workshops, proposal guidance, and certification support, she has helped numerous WBEs strengthen readiness and successfully compete in public-sector markets.
