YWCA CAMBRIDGE’S WOMEN OF DISTINCTION AWARDS

Wednesday, June 12th

Whistle Bear Golf Club

From 7pm – 9pm

CELEBRATING  THE TRAILBLAZING WOMEN, GIRLS AND GENDER DIVERSE INDIVIDUALS WHO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY

Once again this year, YWCA Cambridge will be taking a more holistic and inclusive approach to the awards that will ensure nominees are recognized for their own unique strengths, achievements and contributions while centering our organization’s core values of equity, self-determination, inclusion, community and leadership.

The Women of Distinction Awards will have one pool of nominees, rather than specific award categories. This provides the opportunity for nominators to highlight their nominees’ unique journeys and impacts, rather than boxing their diverse experiences into categories.

We know the ways individuals contribute to their communities are innumerable and we hope this change away from specific award categories provides the opportunity for nominators to celebrate the diverse ways that women do amazing things.

Women of Distinction are leaders in their fields and communities. They are paving the way for the trailblazers of tomorrow and having a positive impact on our city. They work to inspire, lead and create change and we can’t help but stand up and take notice. A Woman of Distinction may have:

• Been a role model and inspired others through their work;
• Participated actively as a volunteer to help people in need;
• Shown an innovative approach to the unique challenges facing marginalized and at-risk members of our community;
• Demonstrated courage, tenacity and grit to overcome obstacles (either in their professional or personal life).
