Women of Distinction Awards - A Historic Year!

For the first time the history of the award, the YWCA Women of Distinction Award went to all women of color / Indigenous women, including two of our staff, Moira Villiard and Ivy Vainio!  YWCA Duluth’s Women of Distinction Luncheon recognizes and honors women who make significant contributions to our community. Hundreds come together each year to enjoy lunch, recognize the amazing contributions of these women, hear highlights of the YWCA’s community outreach, network with community colleagues, and contribute to YWCA programs. 

Indigenous artist Sarah Agaton Howes and entrepreneur ChaQuana McEntyre were also recipients.
