The Tribute to Women Awards Program, one of the nation’s most prestigious awards given by the local and regional YWCA’s, recognizes successful women executives for their outstanding achievements. It is an important and well-known event demonstrating the esteem in which companies hold their women executives. This award program was established in Santa Clara Valley 25 years ago, and participants represent most of the major companies in the Bay Area. Each year, Honorees receive a Tribute to Women award at a gala dinner event attended by Silicon Valley CEOs, dignitaries, Honorees and their families. As one of the primary fundraisers of the YWCA, the Tribute to Women Awards Program generates funds that support the YWCA’s programs. Over 15,000 people receive services every year from the YWCA in the areas of Intervention and Prevention Services, Childcare and Economic Development.
