At Support a WAHP we are committed to recognising the achievements of work-at-home parents/people across the globe. In honour of this, we are really pleased to announce the 2nd annual International Top WAHP Awards.
Last year, the Top WAHP Awards saw more than 6000 unique visitors attracted to the Support a WAHP website in the space of one month, more than 40 nominations and more than 1300 votes for the 5 Top WAHP award winners. Winners attracted publicity from local news outlets and were featured in our end of year e-magazine that enjoyed 22,000 views in December 2011 alone.
This year, we’re going bigger and better.
