YWCA of the City of New York

Salute Luncheon

The YWCA-NYC Academy of Women Leaders Salute Luncheon is a celebration of the women leaders who inspire greatness from us all. One of the nation’s largest, most visible and important tributes to professional women leaders, the Luncheon is the premiere event for showcasing trailblazing women in business, many of whom were the first to break through corporate glass ceilings and become senior executives in their companies and industries. For over 30 years, the Salute Luncheon has been a premier event for a broad spectrum of companies, professional service organizations and nonprofits to embrace and celebrate the advancement of women and demonstrate their commitment to diversity.
