The Women of Distinction Award is bestowed in recognition of the outstanding achievements of a select group of women. Local residents, non-profit leaders, and business owners nominate women who live or work in the community whose significant and unique contributions have made a difference in our community and epitomize the mission of the YWCA. The YWCA Darien/Norwalk Women of Distinction Nomination Committee reviews the nominations and selects the honorees.
