YWCA accepting award nominations

YWCA of VW County information

The YWCA of Van Wert County, in celebration of Women’s History Month, would like to announce its 2015 call for award nominations.

Do you know a local woman or girl who has changed history? Do you know a local woman who is making a huge difference for her family or community? Nominate her for an award.

A goal of the YWCA is to educate the public on women’s issues, to advocate on behalf of women’s issues and to celebrate women and their accomplishments. Its mission is to serve as a catalyst in moving all women forward.

The lives of those women honored demonstrate the power of courage and vision in creating the kind of work you want to accomplish. Learning about why and how they succeeded is an inspiration. Having them as role models reminds local residents that, with encouragement and hard work, they can achieve they own goals.

Honorees will be publicly recognized at the “Meal in Heels” luncheon on March 27 at noon, at the YWCA.  Register for the event by March 23 by calling the YWCA at 419.238.6639.

Nominations are due by February 23. Nominations forms are available at the YWCA. Submit nominations by email, mail or fax to: Tammy Branham-Cripps, executive director, YWCA of Van Wert County, 408 E. Main St. Van Wert, OH 45891. Phone: 419.238.6639; Fax: 419.232.6361; Email: vanwertywca@roadrunner.com.

The YWCA is a United Way and Van Wert County Foundation funded agency.
