Our LeaderLuncheon theme this year is based on the principle that it takes a community to raise a leader.  In turn, the leader raises the community.   We hope you will help us celebrate the extraordinary accomplishments of our women leaders and let their stories serve as inspiration for women and girls for years to come. Let us honor together those who have raised our community to new heights and who are growing our next generation of Leaders!  Please join us on Friday, June 18, 2010 from 11:00 to 1:30 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Coral Ballroom for the YWCA's 33rd annual LeaderLuncheon awards. 2010 YWCA LeaderLuncheon Honorees Violeta Arnobit CEO, Ace Medical, Inc.
