Harrisburg Young Professional Executive Director Meghan Bachmore received the YWCA of Greater Harrisburg‘s Emerging Leader Award Wednesday night at the 34th Annual Tribute to Women of Excellence.
The Emerging Leader Award recognizes the efforts of women under the age of 30 on behalf of the community, particularly regarding mentoring younger girls.
“Over the last year, I have met some of the strongest leaders our community has to offer, who have spent generous amounts of time ensuring I felt assured, confident, and capable in my role as Executive Director,” Bachmore said in a statement.
The “Woman of Excellence” title is bestowed on women who are active in the community as mentors, role models, and volunteers, serve on boards or committees of various nonprofit organizations, demonstrate integrity, strength of character and leadership, raise and donate money to important causes, and embrace the mission and vision of the YWCA.
“Meghan embodies the characteristics of a true servant leader, something many don’t achieve under forty, let alone thirty,” 2022 HYP President Jade Honey said.
Hosted by the Hershey Lodge and sponsored by Highmark, the event honors outstanding women in professional and executive positions for contributions to the community. Proceeds from the event help support the YWCA’s mission.
