2020 YWCA TWIN Award Nominations for Women Faculty/Academics

The Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on the Status of Women (CSW) is
seeking nominations for women in faculty/academic positions for this
year’s YWCA’s “Tribute to Women & Industry” (TWIN) Award. Since 1981, CSW has alternated nominating UC San Diego faculty and staff women for the
award.

The YWCA initiated this program to augment the efforts of companies in
recognizing their female employees for outstanding achievement. The
criteria for the nomination are:

* Honoree must occupy a management, executive or professional position
with responsibility for a major component of your company/organization.

* Honoree must have made an outstanding achievement within your company/organization.

The Chancellor and Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
endorse and submit the final nomination to the YWCA in April. The campus
nominee, along with other women throughout the San Diego area, will be honored at a benefit luncheon on June 5, 2020.

All nominations are due March 20, 2020 for CSW review. Please go to this
website for more information and to obtain the nomination form:
