YWCA's Academy for Women of Achievement Corporate Nominations
YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee has served women and families for more than 125 years and works to advance the quality of life for women of all ages, races, and faiths. Our programs and services help them move from safety to independence. YWCA exists to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

The Academy for Women of Achievement (AWA) was launched locally in 1992 by YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee in an effort to honor women who, through excellence and leadership in their chosen fields, serve as role models for other women.

AWA nominees should have a history of demonstrated support for empowering women, promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. They make Nashville a more inclusive, informed, just, healthy, and robust city in which to live. This year’s recipients will join 191 other women who were honored previously with this distinction.

The Academy’s independent selection committee will choose this year’s honorees from an exceptional list of nominees. Proceeds from the Academy for Women of Achievement ceremony directly fund YWCA programs.

The 32nd AWA Award Ceremony will be held on Thursday, October 24, 2024 at the Music City Center. Honorees must be available on this date.
