YWCA Women of Distinction Awards
Each year we honor women in the Darien/Norwalk communities who epitomize our mission through their community leadership and contributions. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to hold our annual Women of Distinction Award Ceremony in 2020 to formally honor the six phenomenal women selected. During our June 8th, 2021 event, we will honor those women along with our 2021 honorees.
