Women of the Year 2021
Since 1973, we have been shining a spotlight on exceptional women. They are leaders, mentors, visionaries, angels, and heroes. Help us highlight women who shape the Fargo-Moorhead community.
This year’s Women of the Year event will be held on April 26, 2021.
Virtual Viewing Room Opens at 6:30pm | Program Begins at 7:00pm
Join us from the comfort of home as we celebrate the accomplishments of 40 amazing nominees. To best adhere to safety recommendations, YWCA will host nominees and their guests in person, while welcoming the rest of our incredible supporters virtually this year.
We invite you to tune-in virtually to uplift of our nominees and support the mission of YWCA Cass Clay. Your virtual viewing ticket will give you live event coverage with exclusive access and first-hand knowledge of our 2021 Women of the Year honorees! Plus, your gift of $44 provides the first night of shelter for a woman or child at YWCA Emergency Shelter.
