As the 34th Tribute to Women Awards event approaches, this gala continues to serve as a long tradition of honoring women in our region. Since 1992, YWCA has used this prestigious award to recognize exceptional women throughout NETN and SWVA who embody the YWCA mission to empower women, eliminate racism, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. These role models excel in their chosen fields, and their dedication and commitment impact lives across our region.
