YWCA Leader Luncheon 2008
The YWCA Leader Luncheon honors women for outstanding achievement in their chosen career fields and one woman for her commitment to racial justice. The YWCA Leader Luncheon is one of Chicago’s most prestigious salutes to exceptional women.
When YWCA Metropolitan Chicago launched Leader Luncheon in 1972, honoring women for their career achievements was a bold, pioneering concept. Today the life stories of the honorees continue to captivate the 1,300 people, mostly women, who attend the luncheon each year.
