About OWA

For the past three decades, the YWCA has hosted the Outstanding Women Awards, an event that recognizes women in Greater Richmond 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 society.

First celebrated in 1980, this signature event is recognized as THE women's event in Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover, Powhatan, Charles City, New Kent, Petersburg, Colonial Heights, Dinwiddie, and Goochland. We celebrate with a crowd of nearly 900 members of our community each year.
