MotherBoard won its first award!

Well technically, Sophie did. Earlier this month, Sophie returned home from Berlin with a new addition to the MotherBoard trophy cabinet when she won the Lead 5050 award for 'Contribution to Gender Diversity'.

The Lead5050 Awards celebrate the people working for an equitable world, they recognise innovative individual and organisational initiatives that address the advancement of gender equity.

Here’s what Sophie had to say about her win:

“MotherBoard has been highlighting the connection between motherhood and lack of gender equity within the tech industry for the past few years. Being recognised for the work we are doing at MotherBoard with a Lead 5050 'Contribution to Gender Equality' Award has been an honour and further validation of the importance of continuing to shift the dial for future gender parity by supporting employers and our community to be more inclusive of mums.”

As much as it is an individual award, we just want to say thank you to all of you for supporting the MotherBoard mission through being part of the community. Without you, we wouldn't be able to make the change, so in our books, it's an award for all of us.

So thank you. Here’s to many more.
