On the bill to spice the evening are musical performances from vintage musical trio-Daughters of Glorious Jesus, Akatakyie and lyricist cum dancer Mr Drew.
The CEO of GOWA, Mrs Afua Asantewaa Aduonum ahead of the event said: "...indeed the God has been good, we look back and all we can say is God has been awesome. All the credit goes to Him.
"Five years ago, on the evening of the event, my husband and I were combing the whole of Accra in search of trophies for the deserving winners after a friend duped us at the eleventh hour.
"Great personalities like Ambassador Ray Quarcoo, Charles Osei Asibey, actor Peter Richie, Mama Francisca Duncan Williams, Oheneyere Gifty Anti, Akumaa Mama Zimbi, among others and sponsors like Tasty Tom, Twellium Industrial Limited, Rwand Air believed in us although we had just begun."
She added, "We are indeed grateful to all especially the media, sponsors and hardworking team who have contributed to our success story.
"Our next target is to move beyond the shores of this country and reward women who are impacting lives positively. Red Carpet starts at 4 pm and the main event at 6pm."
Past winners of the topmost Woman of the Year award include Afia Pokua, Velma Owusu Bempah and two-time winner, Deloris Frimpong Manso alias Delay.
This year's event has received support by way of sponsorship from Tasty Tom and Twellium Industrial Limited.
