WKYC's Romona Robinson |
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!
