Tuesday, May 31, 2011 marked the annual YWCA Women of Distinction Awards. Recognized nationally as one of Canada’s most prestigious awards for women, the YWCA Metro Vancouver Women of Distinction Awards honour women whose outstanding achievements contribute to the well-being and future of our community.

Several members of the Board of Trade’s Company of Young Professionals (CYP) Program volunteered at helping to raise funds YWCA Programming. Volunteers sold raffle tickets at the function while helping to raise over $13,000. The event was organized by CYP Member Anne Sashikata who did an absolutely outstanding job.

CYP would like to recognize the outstanding efforts of Simon Kwok, Kelvin Liu, Natasha Smyth, Octavia Yung, and Maggie Zhang for their volunteer efforts. Volunteerism is a key pillar of the CYP Program as participants contribute to various Board of Trade Committees and Community initiatives throughout the year.
