The Feather Awards was established by the Female Tribe in 2008. The first prestigious Gala Event held in March 2009 in association with the Female Tribe and 1st For Women Insurance Brokers recognised the extraordinary women of South Africa and the meaningful contributions they have made in the areas of Community, Career, Entrepreneurship, Inspiration, Courage and the lives of other women.
The Feather Awards celebrates the multifaceted nature of a woman – her compassion, her strength and her determination.
The Feather represents a writing instrument, the tool used throughout the ages to capture history and legacy. Feathers used on parchment recorded the remarkable life stories of exceptional women of yesteryear. Today each woman writes her story, continuing the legacy of extraordinary women.
