About Us - Women of the Year Awards

Each year, the FWA honors distinguished women in both the public and private sectors for their achievements, leadership and professionalism. The FWA Women of the Year awards are presented at the Annual Dinner, the organization's major fundraising activity for its nationally acclaimed scholarship, mentoring and summer training programs.
