Nominations for the 2009 Erskine Awards are now being accepted. Please consider nominating a woman you know in the workplace or in the community for the award in one of the following categories: Arts & Humanities, Business & Law, Community/Social Service & Government, Education and Medicine & Science.

The deadline for nominations is February 16, 2009.

The Katharine F. Erskine Award, a leadership recognition program, honors women for their professional and personal achievements and for their commitment to the YWCA’s mission of social and racial justice and the empowerment of women and girls.

The Award is named for Katharine F. Erskine who twice served the YWCA as president, first in 1930 and again in 1960. Throughout her life she actively championed the rights of women and girls.

The YWCA of Central Massachusetts has honored 63 women with the Katharine F. Erskine Award since 1994. These dynamic women come from all walks of life and represent the diversity of women living and working in central Massachusetts. They are all pioneers - women who broke through barriers and created new paths for women to follow.

A panel of community leaders, past Erskine Award recipients and YWCA volunteers, will select an award recipient in each of the five categories. Selections will not be based on the number of nominations for an individual, but rather on the merit of the individual.

Erskine award recipients will be honored at the YWCA’s Tribute to Women Luncheon on May 5, 2009, at Mechanics Hall.
