Onyx Woman Network’s Woman of the Year: Crystal McCormick Ware

McCormick Ware was selected from a group of esteemed nominees based on her leadership and innovation in DEI, dedication to higher education in Pittsburgh, ability to empower other women and her community involvement. She will be honored at the Onyx Woman Leadership Awards on Friday, May 10.
 
McCormick Ware is proud to walk alongside the Duquesne University and Pittsburgh communities to help create a future everyone can share.
 
“To be recognized as a leader in the region by fellow leaders who contribute so much to their respective communities is humbling,” said McCormick Ware. “The work that I do in the community is a labor of love and in honor of my late mother, Lois Twyman McCormick, who always taught us to fight for those who were treated unjustly.”
