The Annual Awards Luncheon, held in September, is where we present finalists and recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award, which honors a woman who has made a significant impact on women in her community; Company of the Year Awards, which honors companies that create a workplace culture that supports the highest levels of personal and professional accomplishment for their employees who are women; and the Young Professional Award, which honors an emerging leader with excellent leadership qualities. As of 2010 the CWCC added a Sustainable Company of the Year Award, which honors a company that creates a workplace culture that supports the environment, the economy, and society.

The Lawmakers Awards
Hosted by the CWCC and the Denver Women's Commission, The Lawmakers Awards honor outstanding Colorado lawmakers for their leadership and work they have done for women at an annual reception typically held in November. The event provides attendees an opportunity to speak with lawmakers about issues while showing appreciation for the important work they have done for women in the community.

Orchestrating Leadership
Orchestrating Leadership is an extraordinary example of effective leadership and mentorship in action. Since 2004, the CWCC has sponsored this event, which includes a "behind the scenes" glimpse of the Colorado Symphony in action with Conductor Laureate Marin Alsop tutoring the recipient of the Taki Concordia Conducting Fellowship in a mesmerizing private rehearsal. A luncheon follows the dress rehearsal where guests have the opportunity to interact with Alsop and the recipient.
Business Golf Series
The golf clinic is held in July and August and lasts four weeks. Participants first attend a three-week clinic focusing on improving golf skills while learning how to use the sport as a business tool. On the fourth week of the series, participants play on a par three to implement new practices followed by a networking happy hour event. This series is designed for all levels and helps business men and women improve their overall performance on the golf course in order to stay on top of their game in the sport and in business.
