 Established in the 1990-1992 Biennium, the purpose of the YWPA Program is to encourage young women to think of themselves as global citizens, and public affairs as a career option. The Zonta Club of Westchester's Status of Women Committee is proud to announce our 2010 recipient of the the Young Woman of Leadership Award, Suzanne Leslie.
