The Academy for Women of Achievement (AWA) celebrates extraordinary women in Middle Tennessee for their career success, community service, and leadership. Aligned with YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee's mission, AWA honorees are committed to eliminating racism, empowering women, and advancing peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. 

Since 1992, YWCA has inducted 191 women and 34 organizations into the prestigious Academy for Women of Achievement. The AWA program is an inspiring and time-honored tradition. It also serves as a primary fundraiser for the 125-year old nonprofit. Proceeds fund life-saving and life-changing programs including the Weaver Domestic Violence Center, Girls Inc., AMEND Together, the Family Learning Center, and Dress for Success Nashville.
