We’re excited to launch our Quarterly Employee Nomination Program (Employee of the Quarter) to recognize employees who demonstrate outstanding performance and reflect our mission, values, and culture through their actions and results. Nominations for Q1 are due Feb. 28. Winners will be announced in March!  

Eligible nominees include full-time or part-time employees in good standing who have completed their probationary period (example: 90 days). Please submit nominations via this form and be prepared to include specific examples of how the employee you're nominating is succeeding in any of the following areas: Going Above & Beyond, Teamwork & Collaboration, Leadership & Initiative, Innovation/Problem Solving, Mission/Values Champion, and Exceptional Service. 

Nominations will be reviewed by the Employee Engagement Committee using consistent criteria (values/mission, impact, performance, and teamwork). Winners will be recognized quarterly (certificate/award, staff meeting/newsletter recognition, small gift, and optional lunch with an Executive Team Member) and announced via staff communications. Please submit your completed nomination to the Employee Engagement Committee (eec@ywcacolumbus.org).

Get ready for the first Third Thursday, happening Feb. 19! Our theme for this day will be "love" — so please wear red, pink, white, or anything else that you find that falls under that category!  

Each Third Thursday, we’ll ask everyone to dress according to the theme, so keep an eye out for additional details throughout the year! 

65,000+ meals. 5,000+ volunteer hours. Nearly $1 million raised at Women of Achievement 2025. These numbers tell the story of a powerful year: lives impacted, women and families empowered, and real progress made across our community! As we gear up for 2026, we enjoyed reflecting on what you made possible. Thank you for everything you do!
