YWCA Quad Cities and the Yes SHE Can Series is proud to announce the third annual Champions of Change Awards event, honoring individuals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and leadership in driving positive change within our community. The awards luncheon will take place on March 8, 2024, with a start time of 11:30 a.m. at the Waterfront Convention Center and will bring together local leaders, advocates, and supporters for a special time of recognition and inspiration.

YWCA Quad Cities’ Champions of Change Awards aim to celebrate extraordinary leaders in the Quad Cities who are intentionally mentoring and empowering women in our community. These individuals are people who step up, work together, listen, learn and lead with action, as well as embody the YWCA's mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

The nomination period will open on Monday, January 8, 2024 and close on Friday, February 9, 2024 (EOB). All nominations will be reviewed by a selection committee, which will narrow the list to the top three male and top three female finalists. The finalists will be tasked with writing an essay that will help determine the overall winner.
