Valiant Woman Awards
In Church Women United, a Valiant Woman is a woman who has given service to CWU, her own church, and her community for extended periods of time. She does not have to always be a leader, but can be someone who leads in a quiet way through her example. We have found individuals who live the Gospel message in her every day life. Church Women United recognition of Valiant Women at ALL levels - local, state, regional, and national - is encouraged!
