Southcentral Foundation Vice President of Workforce Karen McIntire received a 2023 YWCA Alaska Women of Achievement Award at the awards luncheon in Anchorage.

The award honors women who demonstrate qualities of leadership and excellence in their professional and personal endeavors while embodying YWCA Alaska’s mission of eliminating racism and empowering women.

McIntire joined SCF in 1996 and has played a key role in the organization’s strategic planning and development. She has held positions in Organizational Development and Innovation, human resources, and program management.

Ten women are selected each year from a large pool of deserving candidates. The selection committee considers record of accomplishments, investment in the community, and the work done to empower other women.

“SCF’s leadership team is pleased to see Karen recognized for all she has done for the Alaska Native Community. She has played a key role in the growth and development of our workforce. This is a well-deserved honor,” said SCF President and CEO April Kyle.

Since 1989, YWCA Alaska has been committed to fostering a community where all can live and thrive. The event is an acknowledgment of exceptional leadership in the community, and also an opportunity to encourage and inspire other women to create their own positive impact.
