Women Of Distinction Nominations Now Open!

January 26, 2012 - Carol McBee

In 2010, I had the pleasure and honor of winning the  YWCA's Woman of Distinction in the Entrepreneur Category.  Last year one of our members (Pretty Mama Ltd!) was a finalist!

This year, we want to continue this streak and have more members nominated and hopefully named Women of Distinction!

Entering is easy (and YES - you can reach out to someone to nominate you!)

 

The YWCA Edmonton is now accepting nominations for the 30^th Annual Women of Distinction Awards!  Nominate an amazing woman in your life, or ask someone to nominate you! The Nomination deadline is March 30 and the Gala will be held at the Expo Centre on May 31.
