YWCA presents executive award
Deanna Walston, vice chancellor of business services for West Valley-Mission Community College District, received a Tribute to Women in Industry award from the YWCA of Santa Clara Valley. The annual award honors executive-level women who have made outstanding contributions to their companies.
Walston was cited for singular contributions to the district by Chancellor Rose Tseng. Walston, who has overall responsibility for the district's $60 million budget, helped turn a multimillion-dollar deficit into a balanced budget over two years.
The TWIN award program was established by the YWCA more than 10 years ago. The companies that nominate TWIN honorees are recognized for their commitment to expanding opportunities for women in management.
