Lifetime Achievement Awards

One of the Pillars of the organization is EDUCATION.

Our other pillars are COMMUNITY SERVICE and MENTORSHIP.

 

Education, community service and mentorship may come in many forms.

We celebrate the achievements of women from all over the world:

​Ms. Achievement® Universe

  • This is a Lifetime Achievement Award/Title/Distinction for a DWP member. 

  • The distinction should be added to one’s resume/CV.

  • With the submission of an application, the individual agrees if selected as the recipient to:

    •  Provide a minimum of two (2) complementary (minimum 30 minutes in length) virtual professional development training sessions during the title year (January and May preferred) to DWP members (and the public if appropriate). These free educational activities are designed to provide an opportunity for the individual to “Pay it forward” to others.

    • Provide a minimum of ten (10) videos (e.g., recorded on iPhone, a minimum 30 seconds) "Did you know?" educational videos related to professional field, passion or platform for DWP social media.

These free educational activities are designed to provide an opportunity for the individual to “Pay it forward” to others.

  • This selection process may include up to three judges, be determined by the director or the Board.

  • The results will not end in a "crowning" (no crown/sash/flowers are awarded).

A DWP approved sash or crown can be directly associated with the bestowment of this award/title/distinction. But, it is not required nor provided by DWP for this title. 

    • The annual recipient may choose to purchase an official DWP Universe-level rhinestone sash (and crown if desired) as a recipient of this award/title/distinction. It is not required. However, the individual may not use any other sash or crown to represent this award/title/distinction.​

​​Dr. Universe®

  • For the Dr. Universe Lifetime Achievement Award - Domestic accrediting bodies and issuing postsecondary institutions must be recognized by the United States Department of Education. The earned, accredited academic doctoral degree must be granted by a federally recognized postsecondary academic institution. The doctoral program must contain a minimum of 58 academic semester hours of study. For application and entry into this particular Lifetime Achievement Award, a domestic or foreign doctorate degree may not be an award/honorary in nature (e.g., honoris causa). A foreign earned, academic doctorate degree must be recognized as equivalent to a US doctorate degree (e.g., by evaluation services such as World Education Services/WES).
