On Thursday, June 4, 2026, YWCA San Diego County presented the 26th annual In the Company of Women benefit luncheon. We showcased remarkable women through the Tribute to Women & Industry Awards (TWIN), recognized the strength and resilience of domestic violence survivors, and came together to uplift our community.
We celebrated our TWIN honorees for their incredible achievements and expanded our perspective on the power of hope with our enlightening speaker, Molly Kawahata. Our client shared their courageous journey to reclaim their independence and showed us the impact of perseverance, inspiring us all. We are grateful to everyone who joined us, and thank you for empowering survivors!
2026 TWIN Honorees
The Tribute to Women & Industry Awards (TWIN) recognize women for their exceptional achievements in their industries, organizations, and communities. Their bold leadership uplifts and inspires so many as they pave the way for others to follow. TWIN honorees are inducted into a longstanding, prestigious group that has celebrated the strength, courage, and spirit of women since 1980.
Congratulations to this extraordinary group of dedicated leaders for their steadfast perseverance that empowers and advances our community!
