about the awards
The Outstanding Women Awards recognizes women in the Richmond area who have made significant contributions to our community through their exceptional leadership qualities, as well as for excellence, achievements and dedication in their careers and to society. First celebrated in 1980, this prestigious award program honors one woman in each of ten categories. Previous winners have come from many diverse segments of our community, but they share a commitment to improving the quality of life for all people. See our complete list of honorees from 1980-2009
The honorees are formally recognized at the luncheon event. The luncheon is the YWCA’s signature fundraising event. Nearly 900 members of the metro Richmond community attend each year and funds raised go to support the YWCA’s three core program areas: Domestic Violence, Sexual Violence and Early Childhood Education.
This year’s luncheon was an enormous success due to the generosity of over 25 sponsors. All levels of sponsorship include tickets to the luncheon and special recognition, as well as other exciting benefits. For more information on how your company can be a part of the 2011 event, please contact Lauren Rosati at 804.643.6761 x116.
