Iris Awards
Honoring women of achievement in Southwest Washington
Each year the community nominates women throughout the Greater Vancouver region who have gone above and beyond. Whether their contributions be professional, philanthropic, civil, or otherwise, we seek to recognize their unique and superior efforts and honor their stories and achievements through the Iris Awards.
These awards, launched in 1985 as women of Achievement, are presented in observance of International Women’s Day and to commemorate National Women’s History Month.

Custom baskets inclusive of food, beverage, and topic-related material are hand-delivered to each member of the Executive Women's Council prior to each session.
