by Amy Burnett
The Annual Women of Achievement Event has honored over 400 women in Kitsap County since its first event in 1989 – which recognized the very first woman to be honored – Amy Burnett. Amy is a local artist who created the piece, “Time Circle of a Woman” and sold limited edition prints in 1988 that raised over $20,000 for YWCA Kitsap County – establishing the branding for Women of Achievement for the past 30 years.
“Time Circle of a Woman” will always represent the origins of this event and remind us where this started – which is fitting given the name of the painting. Thank you Amy for all that you have done and that you continue to do for the YWCA.
