WKYC's Robinson Selected for 2011 YWCA Women of Achievement Award

WKYC's Romona Robinson
Congratulations to WKYC/TV 3  6 & 11 PM anchor Romona Robinson who has been selected as one of the five 2011 Women of Achievement Award recipients presented by the YWCA Greater Cleveland.

This year marks the 35th year the organization has recognized exceptional female leaders in our community by presenting them with the Women of Achievement Award.

Romona Robinson tells the Director's Cut blog, "The YWCA Women of Achievement award is one of the highest honors one can receive in Greater Cleveland."

"I've spent 20 years in Northeast Ohio trying to be a voice for those who aren’t heard, working  to help bridge the racial divide and  to inspire and encourage young women and children to reach their potential," Robinson added.

The criteria for those given the award include a demonstration of outstanding leadership qualities, as well as excellence in accomplishments and commitment to their career and community.

Women chosen to receive this award are role models and mentors who have played a significant part in helping other women achieve their goals, thus furthering the YWCA mission to empower women and eliminate racisim.

This year's luncheon will be held on Monday, May 16th, at the Renaissance Cleveland's Grand Ballroom from 11:45 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Congratulations Romona!
