Jennifer S. Wilkov & Global 2024 January Speak Up Women Virtual Conference Award USTA & US Open the Make A Difference Award

NEW YORK - EntSun -- Jennifer S. Wilkov, multi #1 international best-selling award-winning author, founder, and CEO of Speak Up World LLC, (http://www.SpeakUpWomen.com), successfully produced the Global 2024 January Speak Up Women Conference virtually online on Saturday, January 27, 2024. Speakers and participants from across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and others engaged in virtual talks about the importance of speaking up in women's personal and professional relationships and for others and causes she cares about to create change where change is necessary.

The Make A Difference Award was presented at the end of the conference by Ms. Wilkov to recognize the USTA for the US Open's 50 Years of Equal Prize Money for women and men milestone in 2023.

As the producer and presenter of the Make A Difference Award during the Global 2024 January Speak Up Women Virtual Conference, Wilkov said, "As a huge fan of tennis worldwide since I was a little girl, the USTA has always held a special place in my heart. When they reached this incredible milestone of 50 Years of Equal Prize Money for women and men in tennis at the US Open, they reminded us that the USTA and the US Open was the first sporting event in history to offer equal prize money for women and men competitors. It would take the other grand slams more than 30 years to offer the same. There was no question in my mind that I was going to award the Make A Difference Award to them. As I said in my talk, now, more than ever, it's our time to speak up."
