TWIN


































The Purpose of TWIN
  • To honor women who have excelled in their fields and made significant contributions to industry in executive, managerial and professional roles.
  • To salute corporations whose policies and practices encourage high achievement by women and provide equal advancement opportunities for women of diverse backgrounds.
  • Serve as the major fundraiser for the Women's and Children's Alliance. Funds raised help the WCA continue to provide comprehensive supportive services to women and their children victimized by domestic and sexual violence.
  • Provide an opportunity for women to network.
 
How can your company get involved?

Nominate one of the exceptional professional women in your company. Nominees for the TWIN 2008 Award must meet the following criteria:
  • Nominee must be an exempt, salaried employee who occupies a management, executive, or professional position with responsibility for a major component of your organization.
  • Nominee must be employed by your company for at least TWO (2) years, and have worked in her chosen career path for at least THREE (3) years, and an Idaho resident.

The nomination deadline is past for 2008.  If you would like to participate in 2009 TWIN, please contact Rebecca Taguma at 343-3688 ext. 11 or rtaguma@wcaboise.org.

To honor the women chosen, a luncheon is held annually in May. The highlight of the luncheon is a video showing each Honoree responding to questions regarding their career. Each Honoree will receive a crystal paperweight, a TWIN pin, and a proclamation from the Mayor of Boise. The Honorees photos will be displayed in the TWIN memorabilia book, the Idaho Statesman, and the WCA Web site.
