Nominations

Anyone – male or female – can nominate a woman for consideration as a Woman of Excellence. Nominating a Woman of Excellence is a way to show your appreciation to someone who has touched your life. It is also a way to ensure that others in our community celebrate the qualities and contributions that make your nominee special.

Honourees will be selected from the nominations by a volunteer committee of community leaders, including previous Women of Excellence. A Woman of Excellence is someone who has achieved significant accomplishments, has contributed to her community, embodies the values of the YMCA, and serves as an inspiration to everyone.

Women can be nominated in one of seven categories:
Arts, Culture & Hertitage
Business, Professions & Trades
Community, Volunteerism & Humanity
Education, Training & Development
Health, Science & Technology
Sport, Fitness & Recreation
Young Woman of Excellence

The YMCA of Western Ontario Women of Excellence Steering Committee is committed to ensuring that the 2009 hourees are selected from a broad range of nominations, representing the rich diversity of our community.
