Who doesn’t love a party! The March 9th SAWHOF Gala and Induction Ceremony will be the party you will not want to miss! The 2024 induction of fifteen women represents the many career fields and community areas that are impacted daily by these women who continue to share their time, talent and treasure with San Antonio and the surrounding counties.
While attending the gala you will not only be recognizing these new inductees but you will be continuing to support the organization’s mission to provide scholarships for the graduates of the Young Women’s Leadership Academy of San Antonio.
