Ø Bea Black Tribute to Women & Industry 2026 Ê 3

Welcome to this year’s gathering in celebration of YOU, our 2026 TWINs. As you join an elite group of over 1,390 leaders representing a wide range of industries and careers, know that you have been singled out by your organizations because of your dedication and leadership. You serve as an inspiration to others within your organizations and throughout your community, serving as encouragement for other women as you pave the way!

The WCA has been an important community partner for more than 116 years. Originally started as the YWCA by nine pioneering women, it offered safe housing for women drawn from rural areas to Boise for work. Building on this foundation, the WCA is focused on a core mission of providing safety, healing and freedom from domestic abuse and sexual assault.

The WCA operates a 24-hour hotline, two safe long-term shelters and programs for clients, including professional counseling with Masterlevel clinicians, child play therapy, support groups, safety planning, case management and licensed residential childcare.

Through the court advocacy program, the WCA provides assistance to petitioners seeking civil protection and court accompaniment to proceedings. The WCA’s client advocates provide crisis intervention, advocacy and support.

Education and outreach is offered through community presentations and 35-minute WCA virtual Mission Tours in which participants learn about the prevalence of domestic abuse and sexual assault, and ways to get involved. The WCA has a very active volunteer program, with one-time and ongoing opportunities for individuals and groups.

As a 501(c)(3) organization, the WCA relies on grants from federal, state and local agencies, and the generosity of individual donors and corporate partners to provide essential funds and in-kind donations. With an annual operating budget of more than $4 million, 91% of all funding goes directly to client services.

As we celebrate the 2026 TWINs, we also celebrate the organizations who recognize and empower female leaders while at the same time supporting the work of the WCA. Unique in its format, this 33rd year of the TWIN awards demonstrates just how important this celebration is to our corporate partners. Our Corporate Pillars recognize the importance of celebrating their female leaders while also supporting the work the WCA does to provide “safety, healing and freedom from domestic abuse and sexual assault.”

On behalf of the WCA Board of Directors, we congratulate this year’s honorees and thank the Corporate Pillars who continue to support the WCA. Your contributions are some of the reasons we can provide safety, healing and freedom. You have allowed many in our community to heal from trauma, break the cycle of abuse and create a healthy life for themselves and their children. The need for our services continues to increase as our community grows and so on behalf of all those seeking our services – we are grateful!

And to this year’s TWINs, we appreciate the opportunity we have had to get to know you and celebrate you! We welcome each of you into the sisterhood of “Forever TWINS” and challenge you to continue lighting the path for others!!

34 Ê Tribute to Women & Industry 2026

Honoring Those Who Make a Positive Impact on the Growth and Advancement of Women Congratulations to 2025 Joyce Stein Memorial Award Recipient Dee Mooney, Board Chair, Idaho STEM Action Center; Former Executive Director, Micron Foundation Under Dee Mooney’s nearly two decades of leadership, the Micron Foundation signiЃcantly advanced support for women and families in Idaho—anchoring its efforts in empowerment through STEM, women in leadership, and community care. As Executive Director, she helped found the Micron Women’s Leadership Network (MWLN), amplifying its impact with over 7,000 members globally, 500+ mentor–mentee pairs, and the Women Innovate Network to support female inventors securing game-changing patents.

Mooney steered a bold $10 million commitment toward underrepresented groups—including women—creating pathways into tech and engineering careers via outreach like coding workshops and mentorship programs. She championed hands-on science experiences—such as “Chip Camp” and STEM Bus USA—which brought immersive learning in STEM to thousands of school-aged girls statewide Under her direction, the Foundation has also deepened community ties: Micron Gives teams regularly support Idaho families via the Idaho Foodbank’s turkey and ham drives, reinforcing family wellbeing around the holidays. By fusing STEM equity with tangible community aid, Mooney has left an empowering legacy for Idaho’s women and families.
