This year marks the 20th anniversary of the award; honorees will be recognized during an awards luncheon March 9, 2017. With an average attendance of 800, it is the single largest daytime nonprofit event in Dayton.

Since 1998, the YWCA Dayton WOI Awards have recognized and honored the most influential women in the Dayton area, women who have made a difference in our community through their dedication to the YWCA mission of empowering women, eliminating racism and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. Past honorees have included such influencers as Mayor Rhine McLin and Virginia Kettering and the Junior League of Dayton and Standard Register.

2015 Women of Influence

Says Cathy Ponitz, chair of the WOI Nominations Committee, “Our honorees have made lasting impressions. They have drive, innovation, responsiveness and, oftentimes, pure grit. The world is better because they were here. They are passionate about many things: families in poverty, the arts, compassion for animals, children in need, global economics, health care, literacy, politics, food insecurity, women in corporate leadership, and, yes, even world peace. We are proud to be celebrating 20 years of women influencing positive change in our community.”

Nominations for the 2017 Women of Influence Awards are due Sept. 16, 2016, and can be submitted online.  For more information, contact [email protected]
