The Alliance for Nonprofit Resources is seeking nominations for its 2024 YWCA Jamestown Women of Achievement Awards.
The Women of Achievement Awards are presented to women in the community who demonstrate a commitment to the YWCA mission of “eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.”

Catalyst for Change – An individual in health care, human services, or educational fields that promotes the advancement of women and/or people of color who breaks down barriers to success and assists with increasing cultural competency in their profession.
Impact Award – A phenomenal individual who volunteers their time to promote diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in an organization and/or community.
Shattered Ceiling – A female leader in a predominantly male field who is breaking down barriers to promote other women and/or people of color to become leaders alongside them.
