The YWCA Darien/Norwalk will also honor Merlyn Tejada as a Young Woman of Distinction; that award is given to a woman under 21 years old.
"Women frequently work behind the scenes to forge stronger families and communities," said Ellen Bay, co-chairwoman of the event, in a press release.
"We at the YWCA are grateful for the opportunity to shine a light on these women and celebrate the differences they make every single day.”
The Women of Distinction luncheon will be held at Woodway Country Club from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
“The 2015 Women of Distinction honorees embody the meaning of selfless service,” said event co-chairwoman, Louisa Stead, in a press release.
“Through their generosity and dedication to their communities they are true leaders and role models."
