TWIN SAN DIEGO

TWIN was initiated in June 1980 and has since become the premier businesswomen's recognition event in San Diego County. TWIN consists of an awards luncheon and a reception for honorees and their chief executive officers.

The luncheon spotlights women who are honored by their firms' executives, co-workers, families and friends. Employers receive special recognition for their leadership role in providing advancement opportunities for women in the workplace.

In the past twenty-two years, TWIN has paid tribute to 1,945 outstanding women, and has raised more than $1.4 million to support YWCA programs. More than 800 San Diego business leaders attended the 2001 awards luncheon.
