Showcasing Women Over 50 Leaving A Lasting Impact On The World
On the heels of its inaugural 50 Over 50 list, Forbes unveils the 50 Over 50: Impact list, which spotlights women over the age of 50 who are leaving a positive and lasting impact on the world. As part of Forbes’ 50 Over 50 package, this Impact list highlights the exceptional women who found success later in life and are dedicated to creating meaningful and permanent change to make the world a more equitable and diverse place for everyone. The honorees on the list have used their voices and platforms to aid the pandemic recovery, increase gender and racial equity, protect the environment, and serve their communities and the nation as politicians and philanthropic leaders.
Forbes “50 Over 50” platform, in partnership with Mika Brzezinski’s “Know Your Value” is dedicated to shine a light on women over the age of 50 who have achieved significant success later in life, often overcoming formidable odds or barriers. We had such an overwhelming and abundance interest for the 50 Over 50 list, so Forbes will continue to roll out additional lists to spotlight women who are achieving great success later in life. The next lists to be published later this summer will focus on two different categories: Vision and Investments.
“The 50 Over 50: Impact 50 list showcases women who are making a lasting difference in our world through their leadership, innovations and creativity,” said Maggie McGrath, Editor, ForbesWomen. “After receiving over 10,000 nominations for the 50 Over 50 list, we saw further opportunity to tell the stories of these women and the ways in which they are driving positive change in their industries and within their communities. We hope that shining a light on these trailblazing women will encourage more conversations around age and gender diversity and break down stereotypes about what women over the age of 50 can accomplish.”
