SHERATON WAIKIKI
Since 1977, YWCA O‘ahu has honored women leaders who demonstrate a commitment to or exemplify our mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. We recognize and celebrate them at our signature LeaderLuncheon, the proceeds from which support our programs and community services. These women leaders of Hawai‘i are recognized for their talents, compassion and dedication to making this state a better place for us all. We want to thank them for their ongoing commitment to the betterment of our communities.
