Vancouver, Wash. — She may be your colleague, neighbor, or friend. She may contribute to your school, local government or a community nonprofit. She is a woman of vision and she could be one of the 2008 Women of Achievement for Southwest Washington.

Kathy Kniep, Executive Director of YWCA Clark County, said, “Women of Achievement are honored for outstanding and inspirational achievement in volunteer and/or professional roles in Clark County. Our honorees have an impressive history of community involvement and serve as a role model for others.”
