The Women of Distinction Awards celebrate and encourage the outstanding activities and achievements of women in Vancouver. Since 1984, over 200 women have been recognized for their contributions to the community. The awards also honour businesses and organizations that support the diverse needs of their employees (these companies do not need to be lead by women).
The Women of Distinction awards are not only a wonderful way for our community to recognize women who make a difference; the awards gala is also an important fundraiser for YWCA Vancouver. By supporting the awards, you can help the YWCA to further its mission to build better futures for women and their families through advocacy and integrated services.
