TRIBUTE TO WOMEN AWARDS
SHINING A LIGHT ON BAY AREA LEADERS
YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley’s Tribute to Women Awards is an annual fundraising event that attracts hundreds of corporate and community leaders and Bay Area professionals. For more than 40 years, YWCA has honored women executive and emerging leaders that represent local technology, healthcare, education, non-profit, and business sectors.
To date, the Tribute to Women Awards has recognized over 1,700 women for their outstanding achievements in the workplace and beyond.
Tribute to Women salutes corporations whose policies and practices encourage women’s leadership and promote equal advancement opportunities for women of diverse backgrounds. Participation in the Tribute to Women Awards not only helps uplift incredible leaders across the Bay Area, but it also helps raise critical funds that support YWCA’s ability to deliver support services.
