One Unforgettable Evening

Friday, October 30th we are coming together to celebrate ELAWC's 50th Anniversary —and the people who have made this journey possible. 


Our greatest legacy is found in the lives touched along the way—and in the extraordinary people who have walked beside us, believed in our mission, and helped move our community forward.


This year, we are especially proud to honor four exceptional leaders whose vision, leadership, and longstanding commitment to our community embody the spirit of ELAWC.

It is who ELAWC has always been.
