Earlier this year, Girls STEAM Institute Co-Founder, Diane McClelland, was honored with the Top Co-Founder & CEO for Non-Profits Award by International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP). The organization just recognized her as the 2025 Empowered Woman of the Year for her outstanding leadership, dedication, and commitment to her industry.
Few women are chosen for this distinction based upon their years of experience, professional accomplishments, and achievements in academia, business, and leadership. These honorees are a tribute to their community and industry. Diane has helped young women expand their potential in leadership and entrepreneurship through mentorship, education, and outreach programs. She is to be honored with the award in New York at the IAOTP’s 2025 Annual Awards Gala.
“We are honored to have Diane McClelland as part of the IAOTP family. She provides visionary leadership as a female entrepreneur, and her extraordinary accomplishments prove she will empower women worldwide. We look forward to celebrating all her merits at the Annual Awards Gala and cannot wait to see more amazing things from this woman.”
