Decades of Women

The YWCA of Alexandria’s annual Decades of Women Luncheon honors six local women, one from each decade ranging anywhere from 20’s to 70’s+, who have displayed community excellence and achievement. Each candidate is nominated by members of the community and is selected by the YWCA Board of Directors.

We are pleased to announce this year’s Honorees:

20’s – Caroline Beard

30’s – Mary Helen Downey

40’s – Katie Vanderlick

50’s – Kellie Peyton

60’s – Lynne Hyde

70’s+ – Amy Pillarisetti

2024 Honorees will be celebrated at an Awards Luncheon on Thursday, November 7th at Alexandria Convention Hall. The Awards Luncheon will be open to the public with a limited amount of tickets for $50. Tickets are available to purchase online or in person at the YWCA (5912 James Street in Alexandria).
