As YWCA Columbus strives to create a more equitable society, we believe it’s important to acknowledge our
accomplishments and celebrate our progress. Women of Achievement honors leaders in our community who
motivate us with their example of determination, generosity and courage.



It is one of the most inspiring events that I attend each year, and I think everyone always leaves with the charge to “do more.” I know I always do! Thank you for recognizing extraordinary women!
