YWCA Greater Charleston Opens Nominations for 2022 #WhatWomenBring Awards
Nominations for YWCA Greater Charleston’s #WhatWomenBring awards are now open. The annual celebration honors South Carolina women leaders in business, community, and culture.
Award recipients will be recognized on stage at the fifth annual #WhatWomenBring event at 11 am on Thursday, October 27th, 2022. The event will be held in person at The Conference Center at Thornley Campus, 7000 Rivers Avenue in North Charleston, with a lunch and a virtual component for those outside the Charleston area.
This year, awards will be given across 11 industries: business, community, education, entrepreneurship, government, healthcare, hospitality, law, media, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, math). An additional award will recognize rising stars under the age of 30 who are making an impact in gender or racial equity.
During the event, award recipients will field questions about the benefits women bring to the professional sphere and world from event emcee Octavia Mitchell (right), Emmy award-winning news anchor, and from the audience. All prior in-person #WhatWomenBring events have sold out, with a diverse audience of hundreds of women and men of all ages in attendance.
Nominations can be made at www.ywcagc.org/wwb. The deadline is Wednesday, July 6th, 2022.
