Aitkin Women of Today is proud of our members and we strive to recognize each person’s accomplishments. Women of Today offers a variety of awards at the local, state and national levels of the organization.

Outstanding Aitkin Woman of Today Award

Each year, the Aitkin chapter votes to award an Outstanding Woman of Today award to one of its chapter members. This award is very prestigious among the membership and it is considered a great honor to be awarded this title. All members, except the current chapter president, are eligible for this award. Candidates that are nominated have been involved in the chapter in various areas such as project participation, chairmanships, office duties, and other involvement with the chapter.

Key Woman Award

The Key Woman Award was started in 1975, as a means of recognizing women, with the Jaycee Women organization, for their dedicated service. It is the highest award given by our Minnesota organization. A woman cannot work toward this goal; it seeks her out after she has given her heart and soul to this organization. Seven women within our chapter have attained this prestigious award:

  • 2011-12 Leslie Goble
  • 2010-11 Heidi Westerlund
  • 2007-08 Roxy Appel-Wigton
