YWCA Women of Achievement
YWCA Central Maine’s Women of Achievement Awards honor the leaders, advocates, and changemakers who embody our mission: eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.
Each year, we invite the community to recognize women whose courage, vision, and service make a lasting impact in Lewiston-Auburn and beyond. From community volunteers to business leaders, educators to advocates, Women of Achievement are role models who inspire us all.
Do you know a woman who deserves to be recognized for her leadership and impact? We encourage you to share her story.
