The YWCA of Nashville & Middle Tennessee hosted its 30th Anniversary of the Academy for Women of Achievement (AWA) this week with three Nashville lawyers among those honored: Dr. Glenda Glover, president, Tennessee State University; Diane Lance, department head, Metro Nashville Office of Family Safety; and DarKenya Waller, executive director, Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee & the Cumberlands. AWA was launched locally in 1992 to honor women "who, through excellence and leadership in their chosen fields, serve as role models for other women.” The event also celebrated Wanda Lyle, UBS Nashville Business Solution Center (retired), Metro Nashville/Davidson County Councilmember Zulfat Suara and corporate honoree MP&F Strategic Communications. This year’s honorees join a prestigious group of 179 women and 31 organizations previously inducted into the AWA.
