Spirit of American Women Celebration

The Spirit of American Women Celebration highlights the empowerment and accomplishments of women and girls in our community.  

This event will return on Thursday, November 14th from 5:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. It will include hors d’oeuvres, dinner and dessert, empowering speakers, and networking with peers who have a shared commitment to building a more equitable community. 

Additionally, we will honor three local women with our Spirit of American Women Awards for their efforts to positively impact our community through volunteerism, altruism and advocacy, and STEM enrichment. We believe that their actions reflect our work to empower girls and women and strengthen the fabric of our community by helping advance opportunities for all. 

Last years recipients were:

  • Keri Lynn Courtwright, Pay it Forward CNY

  • Lauren Kochian, Museum of Science & Technology – MOST

  • Tiffany Lloyd, Allyn Family Foundation

Proceeds from the event will help support key YWCA programs and services, including our Women’s Residence, Girls Inc. at YWCA programs, and youth soccer initiatives. 

Stay tuned for more details.
