Women of Distinction Nomination for Community Leadership & Enhancement

Regina's Women of Distinction Awards is an extension of our commitment to supporting women in the realization of their full potential.

Since 1981, the Awards Gala has recognized women whose outstanding achievements contribute to the health and future of our community and are an inspiration to others.

A Women of Distinction nominee is a woman who displays a sustained and significant contribution in her field of endeavour, whether locally, nationally or internationally.

In addition to honouring talented women who make a difference, the Gala Awards Dinner raises funds in support of YWCA programs and services.

Dear Nominee,

Congratulations on your Women of Distinction nomination! The 28th annual Women of Distinction Awards Gala will be held on Thursday, May 7th, 2008 on stage at the Conexus Arts Centre. The Gala is the time when the community comes together to celebrate the outstanding achievements that you and other women in our community have made.

The reception will begin at 5:30 pm, followed by dinner at 6:30 pm. We ask that you check in at the Nominee table located in the lobby of the Conexus Arts Centre by 5:30p.m. You will be escorted to a meeting room where event organizers will greet you and explain the evening’s events. As a nominee you will enter the stage in procession with the rest of the nominees and then be seated at your table with family and friends for dinner and the remainder of the awards presentations. When your friends and families arrive we encourage them to locate their designated table prior to visiting the silent auction and refreshment area.

Gala tickets may be purchased at the YWCA Regina. Tickets for the Gala are $90, or $720 for a table of eight. As part of the YWCA Regina’s fundraising, there will be a silent auction and a raffle at the Gala. You may participate by bidding on the silent auction items or by purchasing tickets for the raffle.

Kindest regards,

Debra
Events Coordinator

What an honour to be nominated for the Women of Distinction! I've been nominated in the category of Community Leadership & Enhancement:

To recognize outstanding leadership through inspiration and example to others through involvement in social services, human rights, labour, women's issues, action programs and/or service clubs. These achievers have enhanced the quality of life in their community primarily through volunteerism.
