Karen Finan, CEO of the OneNKY Alliance, and other women professionals throughout the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky regions, such as Pam Green of Easterseals Redwood, which used to be partially based out of NKY, will be honored by the YWCA at a special luncheon in April.

“The YWCA’S motto is ‘lift as you climb,’ and these ten women embody that mission,” said Rickell Howard Smith, president and CEO of YWCA Greater Cincinnati in a press release. “Now, we are honored to lift these women up, celebrating not only their successes, but highlighting how each uses her success as a platform for change, helping us toward our goal of eliminating racism and empowering women.”

Called the Career Women of Achievement event, the luncheon will serve as an honor for the women and their careers and double as the YWCA’s largest annual fundraiser. This will be the 46th iteration of the event.

The luncheon will take place on Tuesday, April 29 beginning at 11:30 a.m. at the Hard Rock Casino in Cincinnati. You can learn more about the event, the honorees and purchase tickets and sponsorship packages at ywcacincinnati.org/careerwomen.
