The YWCA of Lubbock will induct ten women into its Women of Excellence Academy on March 10, 2016 at a reception and dinner at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center beginning at 6 p.m.
In its 28th year, the Women of Excellence program honors women of Lubbock who have achieved excellence in their careers or professions and whose contributions to business, industry, community organizations and our community are crucial to the success of the same. Including this year’s award recipients, the YWCA has honored 227 Women of Excellence since 1989.
Members of the community submit nominations for the prestigious awards and an independent, anonymous panel determines the recipients.
The public is invited to recognize and celebrate the award winners. Individual tickets are available at $75 each, and reserved tables of eight are $750 each. To order tickets, call the YWCA at 806-632-3678 or order online at www.ywcalubbock.org.
