Since 1977, the YWCA's annual TRIBUTE! Awards have honored over 175 women representing a distinguished sorority of leaders and trail-blazers. The TRIBUTE! luncheon, where honorees receive formal recognition, is one of our community's most popular and widely-supported celebrations.
YWCA TRIBUTE! Award honorees are selected within a number of areas for their extraordinary efforts to strengthen our community. These areas include: Advocacy, Arts, Business Management Industry & Labor, Community Service, Professions, Sports Fitness & Wellness, and Student.
Because developing leaders among young women is key to the YWCA's vision, the YWCA TRIBUTE! Student Honoree will also receive the Judy Lloyd Student Leadership Award Scholarship. This $2,000 award is designated to help Student Honorees achieve their education goals after graduation from high school.
