President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf will on December 30 be presented the maiden edition of the highest and most prestigious award of the African SHEROES Awards (ASAs), The Ultimate SHEROES Award at the Paynesville City Hall, organizers have said.

ASAs is a newly initiated premier international awards program celebrating the achievements of the most successful and inspiring females of African descent.

The President was selected by the organizers of the ASAs for the highest honor because of what they termed as her great achievement in politics and setting the bar for other African women to follow. The ultimate SHERO is a woman who has continuously risen to the challenge of matching social impact with economic value and broken the glass ceiling, organizers of the event has said.
