Charlotte K. Roberts, B.S., MCV Hospitals Auxiliary of the VCU Health System
Roberts was selected as one of ten Outstanding Women of 2003 by the YWCA of Richmond as the outstanding woman in the category of volunteerism. Roberts was chosen because she best exemplified the goals and values of the YWCA through her professional and volunteer achievements. The Outstanding Women Awards (OWA) honor women of achievement in the categories of art, business, communications, education, health and science, human relations, government and politics, law, religion and volunteerism. This year's winners were selected from more than 40 nominees, based on their impact on the community, leadership skills, a high level of achievement and commitment to equality and racial harmony. Roberts and the other honorees will be recognized May 2 at the YWCA's 23rd Annual OWA luncheon in Richmond.
