Dana Denis-Smith, founder of The First 100 Years and Next 100 Years campaigns and CEO of outsourced legal services provider Obelisk Support, has been awarded the Order of the British Empire in the New Year Honours List in recognition of her services to women in law.
Denis-Smith originally launched The First 100 Years campaign back in 2014 with the intention to promote the profession’s female trailblazers, documenting their stories through video biographies and a book, podcast, exhibition and events.
She is also a judge at the Women and Diversity in Law Awards, a council member of the Law Society of England and Wales, and a commentator on legal affairs and gender diversity, including for the Global Legal Post.
“To be recognised for the difference I have made by the country that I have called home for more than half my life now means the world to me. It’s an honour I share with all the women whose stories we have told, and also with my daughter, Alma Constance, and husband John, who have supported me every step of the way.”
