When looking at the impact women have in our community, it cannot be overlooked that it has persisted through generations. Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world” -- and through Women United this change is happening.

By celebrating generations of women we are looking to the past, present and future of our community. Recognizing multiple generations of women is crucial for sustaining community service and driving change. Each generation brings unique perspectives, experiences, and insights that collectively enrich initiatives aimed at addressing diverse needs and advancing gender equality.

Intergenerational collaboration fosters mentorship, knowledge exchange, and continuity in efforts to create a more equitable and just society for all women, both now and in the future.

Here you will find a list of previous winners.
