Named to the YWCA Academy of Women Achievers

President Leocadia I. Zak is one of four women named to the 2022 class of the YWCA Academy of Women Achievers. She was recognized last summer, along with Chloe Barzey, Atlanta office managing director, Accenture; Nicole Clifton, president, social impact and The UPS Foundation; and Nancy Quan, senior vice president and chief technology and innovation officer, The Coca-Cola Company.

The YWCA of Greater Atlanta is a 120-year-old organization with a mission to “eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, dignity and freedom for all.” Since its inception in 1984, the YWCA Academy of Women Achievers has grown to include more than 300 women who are making a difference in the Atlanta community. Past honorees have included Agnes Scott President Emerita Elizabeth Kiss, Ingrid Saunders Jones, Stephanie Blank, The Honorable Shirley Franklin, Dorothy Fuqua, Anne Cox Chambers and Coretta Scott King.

“The work we do at Agnes Scott College to empower our students to become leaders is consistent with the YWCA of Atlanta’s powerful mission,” says Zak. “I am very honored to be included not only with this year’s class but with all the other leaders who have gone before us.”
