What is 'Women of Achievement'?

Each year, YWCA Central Carolinas honors three generations of women who have enhanced social justice in the Charlotte community. Women of Achievement honors three generations of women whose lives exemplify YWCA’s mission to eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. For our annual event, YWCA is joined by our generous supporters to celebrate the change these leaders are making in our community.
