Women of Distinction Awards
Each year, the YWCA of South Hampton Roads recognizes outstanding
women who have demonstrated leadership and who have made significant
contributions to our community through their professional activities and
volunteer efforts. Now in its 19th year, this prestigious awards program honors
women in twelve categories.
In choosing the award recipients, the selection committee takes into
consideration not only the candidates’ professional and civic achievements,
but also how closely the nominees exemplify the values and mission of the
YWCA. The winners chosen each year represent a diverse cross-section of our
community but have in common a dedication to empowering women and to
eliminating racial injustice.
This year, the annual Women of Distinction luncheon celebrates the 96th
anniversary of the YWCA of South Hampton Roads. All money raised from this
event goes to fund important programs that benefit women and children in
the South Hampton Roads community.
