CWE Andrea C. Silbert Rising Star Award Winners

In 2000, CWE began awarding clients annually with the Rising Star Award.  The award was renamed after one of our co-founders Andrea C. Silbert, when she left CWE for other endeavors.

The award is presented annually to a client(s) who have shown success and created economic opportunity.  These woman represent all of the women who are lifting up the world - and the very reason we strive to make a difference with everyone in the CWE community.
