17th Annual Women of Distinction Luncheon YWCA Darien/Norwalk

Each year, our Women and Young Women of Distinction honorees show us what's possible when women lead with purpose, passion, and conviction. This growing group represents far more than individual accomplishments — they form a powerful and connected network of changemakers who uplift others and drive progress in our community.
This year, we're honored to welcome keynote speaker Holly Hurd — entrepreneur, author, and founder of VentureMom.com, a platform that has spotlighted hundreds of women entrepreneurs over 15 years. Holly began her career managing her own hedge fund at 23 and has since dedicated herself to helping women turn ideas into fulfilling, successful ventures. She is the author of the bestselling VentureMom: From Idea to Income in Just 12 Weeks and her newest book, The Life-Changing Power of One Question — a framework for anyone standing at a turning point and ready to reshape their path.

We're proud to see our honorees and guests as part of the YWCA legacy and a driving force behind our work in supporting women and families, and fostering a more equitable community. The purchase of tickets and sponsorships not only celebrates the leadership and impact of women in our community, but directly funds YWCA programs that empower and support women and families throughout the year.

Join us for an afternoon of inspiration, connection, and celebration.
