Women of Achievement

Since 1986, the YWCA has held its annual Salute to Outstanding Women of Achievement. At this awards luncheon, five women from throughout Butler County are honored each year. The women are selected by a panel of judges in recognition of their exemplary contributions in community service. Nominations are accepted in August and September of each year.

Recipients of the Outstanding Women of Achievement awards from prior years become members of the Academy of Achieving Women. An archive of past award winners and select biographies can be found at that link as well.
