Women of Excellence

Awards and Gala Benefitting YWCA Northeast Kansas

Saturday Evening, September 13

The Beacon
Downtown Topeka

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. Join us on September 13, 2025, to be a part of the 37th Annual Women of Excellence Awards and Gala.

Are you a past honoree and you are not on our list? We would love to recognize you! Send us an email with your information.

Thank you everyone who made this event possible!
