2024 Woman Warrior Awards

Join us as we honor six local Asian Pacific Islander women for their lasting contributions to the API community and notable career achievements. First bestowed in 1983, PAAWBAC is excited to carry on this tradition of recognizing accomplished API women as modern-day Woman Warriors -- talented and courageous -- as they distinguish themselves in their respective fields, while giving back to others.
