The Woman of Achievement Luncheon is Women In Development (WID), New York’s signature event. Its purpose is to recognize and promote the achievements of a distinguished colleague who has demonstrated extraordinary service to the field of development and philanthropy as we celebrate the profession and its contributions to the nonprofit sector and society. Over 200 development professionals, philanthropists, and nonprofit volunteer leaders attend annually, representing a diverse range of sectors including arts and culture, civic engagement, environmental, educational, health services, international relations, social and legal services, and much more.
