Women of Distinction Awards

Celebrate the Remarkable Women in Cambridge Asset 10

You’re invited to an evening of inspiration and empowerment.

We’re shining a light on the everyday amazing things that women, girls, and gender-diverse folks do to create positive change in the world around them.

These trailblazers in our community demonstrate how small acts can create a big impact!

By joining in Cambridge’s most prestigious event recognizing women, you also help to fund programming that uplifts them: 

Gender-based violence prevention,
Employment services,
Wrap-around supports,
And advocacy to end gender inequity.

Recognizing trailblazers in our community.

 

This event is all about acknowledging multifaceted contributions from our community and leaders with distinct perspectives.

Women of Distinction are paving the way for future change in our city. They work to inspire, lead, and create a positive impact. And we can’t help but stand up and take notice.

The 2024 Women of Distinction Awards will once again celebrate nominees’ unique journeys and impacts, rather than boxing their diverse experiences into categories.

A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP

We’ll award four Women of Distinction awards, in addition to three special award categories:

Young Trailblazer Award (25 and under)

Lifetime Achievement Award (55 plus)

President’s Award

What is The Circle of Distinction?

Every year, the most recent Women of Distinction award recipients join an exclusive community that celebrates together, supports each other, and contributes to social change.

As a member of the Circle of Distinction, you receive invitations to special networking and social events, plus early access to register for YWCA Cambridge community events!

Partnership Opportunities

Your brand can help recognize women’s achievements and support our community by joining in the celebration. What better way to create the change you want to see in the world? 

Partnering with us brings your organization into the spotlight, offering a unique opportunity to connect with leaders and changemakers. But more than anything, your support fuels our shared mission for gender equity.

At this event, you can demonstrate your brand’s belief in the power of every woman, girl, and gender-diverse individual to make a mark on the world. This is your invitation to celebrate their stories with us.

From hosting and hospitality packages to category sponsorship, we will work with you to create a partnership that meets your goals.
