Recognize an Outstanding Woman with the YWCA

Nominations are open for the YWCA 2018 Outstanding Woman Awards recognizing women who demonstrate leadership or excellence in their community or workplace.

Each year, the YWCA of the Mohawk Valley honors women in several categories for their contributions to the community. This year, the YWCA has added a new category, Outstanding Youth, to honor young women, age 17 or under, who deserve recognition for their school-related or academic achievements, and/or volunteer and community contributions.

Nominees must be 18 years of age or older, live or work in Oneida or Herkimer County and must have demonstrated excellence and leadership in the workplace and/or the community. Outstanding youth nominee must be 17 years of age or younger and live, work, or attend school in Oneida or Herkimer County. Nominees cannot be past Salute honorees, current YWCA MV Board members, or current YWCA MV staff.

Nomination forms can be found on the YWCA's website at ywcamv.org. If you know a woman you would like to nominate, be sure to fill out the form before the nomination period closes on Friday, February 16, 2018.
