YWCA Northeastern Massachusetts set to Honor the Regions Top Women Leaders

Lawrence, Haverhill, Lynn, MA —The YWCA Northeastern Massachusetts will honor 23 of the region’s finest women this week at its annual Tribute to Women awards luncheon. The event is slated for Thursday, May 16, 2024, from noon to 2 p.m. at Andover Country Club and serves as the YWCA’s major fundraiser.

“Every year this is one of our most exciting, inspiring, and empowering events,” YWCA CEO Susan
Staples said in a release. “It is such a privilege to bring the community together to celebrate some of
the most powerful and committed women in the Merrimack Valley.”

Since 1983, the YWCA’s Tribute to Women awards luncheon has recognized nearly 850 Merrimack Valley women leaders from all walks of life. Organizers say a hallmark of the event is that the women cover a broad spectrum of fields and industries, and their contributions are varied.
