YWCA Union County’s Tribute to Women & Industry (TWIN) Award is a nationally-recognized honor for women. Since creating the TWIN award 40 years ago, the YWCA has honored women in executive, managerial, and other professional roles who have made significant contributions in their fields. This important award recognizes successful women executives for their outstanding achievements and honors those companies that have provided opportunities for women to achieve their potential.
