Our 2024 Woman Warriors
Dear PAAWBAC community,
We are so grateful to all of you who showed up to support our 2024 Woman Warriors at our awards luncheon on September 22nd, 2024 at Hotel Kabuki in Japantown. It was a tremendous success, thanks mostly to our incredible honorees, who shared their stories and aspirations. We were inspired by their courage and perseverance in the face of great adversity and challenges, their deep commitment to community and service, the diversity of fields and paths they represented, and their humor and grace. Please join us in acknowledging our honorees once again:
Claudine Cheng
Grace Horikiri
Stacie Ma'a
Yulanda Kwong
Elaine R. Serina, PhD, PE
Cynthia Tom
We would also like to thank our nominators, Emcee Jana Katsuyama, silent auction and raffle donors, host committee, sponsors, and volunteers, all of whom contributed generously to make our event a success.
As we near the end of the year and the season of gratitude, we want to thank our community for your continued support of PAAWBAC. We are motivated to build on the success and momentum of the Woman Warriors to reimagine what PAAWBAC can contribute in the future. Your ideas and suggestions are always welcome.
Sincerely,
PAAWBAC Board
