YWCA Empowers all women

YWCA empowers not only women escaping domestic violence and homelessness, but also those who are doing incredible things in the community. This spring, YWCA of Cass Clay honored 38 women and organizations in 12 award categories at its 45th annual Women of the Year event.

Women are nominated by their peers, neighbors and people they worship with through a rigorous nomination process. All honorees are recognized, and one recipient is selected in each category.
