YWCA Mohawk Valley (YWCA MV) premiered their virtual Reveal of the 2020-2021 Salute to Outstanding Women (Salute) honorees on Thursday, March 25.

Salute honors eight local women for their achievements and impact on the community. YWCA MV postponed both Reveal and the Salute celebration luncheon events last spring due to concerns about the COVID-19 outbreak. The Project Fibonacci Foundation, Inc. Steering Committee Chairperson and Educational Programs Advisor,  Maria Smith, was selected as the honoree in the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) category.

The 32nd annual Salute to Outstanding Women Awards will be held at noon on Thursday, April 22, 2021. Tickets are $33.50 and can be purchased by visiting ywcamv.org/Salute. The luncheon celebration is typically held in-person but will be hosted in a virtual format this year. Salute also serves as YWCA MV’s largest annual fundraiser.

Salute is presented by Baird Private Wealth Management. The virtual Reveal ceremony honorary sponsor was Valentino’s Banquet Hall.  Salute media sponsors are Lite 98.7 FM, El Zorro Radio Latino 98.3 FM, and WKTV NewsChannel2.
