At YWCA Northeast Kansas, we believe in a world where all women are empowered to thrive, and their brilliance knows no bounds.
That’s why we celebrate local women leaders at the annual YWCA Women of Excellence Awards and Gala.
Every year, we enjoy an evening of inspirational story-telling to highlight the achievements and contributions of our Women of Excellence Honorees. Join us as we pay tribute to the women leaders who rise above challenges, inspire greatness, and work to build a stronger, brighter for us all.
