Everyday in Cambria and Somerset counties women are demonstrating their leadership capabilities through their work, in their place of worship, in their community and within their families. You know them. They are the role models who contribute to the arts, volunteer their time and talents to help others, serve in the military, teach your children, and work at the many profit and non-profit organizations and business throughout our region. They are the risk takers who embrace a clear vision of excellence and the use of that vision to serve others, both in their professional lives and in their community.

The YWCA of Greater Johnstown has been honoring women leaders who work and reside in Cambria and Somerset counties for the past 18 years with the Tribute To Women Awards. Through this awards process, individuals within the community nominate women they know who have demonstrated leadership qualities in their chosen field, their personal lives and their commitment to community service. We are asking you to think about the women you know. How many of those women devote tireless hours making a difference today and for the future? Now is your chance to tell us her story. Potential nominees should also share the philosophy of the YWCA - to improve the quality of life for women and girls in all areas and aspects of growth and development. By nominating a woman for this honor, you can bring recognition to women who set a shining example in our community each and every day as role models, teachers, volunteers, artists, and leaders.
