On March 15, the YWCA of Northwest Georgia honored Ellen Langford, vice president and chief operating officer, WellStar Medical Group, at its 28th Annual Tribute to Women of Achievement. The ceremony was held at the Cobb Galleria Centre and included more than 500 attendees.

Langford was among a group of 15 honorees who were recognized for their “outstanding leadership in their personal and professional endeavors.” The honorees, who were inducted into the Academy of Women Leaders that evening, are leaders in business, not-for-profit and volunteer arenas and live and/or work in Cobb, Cherokee or Paulding counties.

The YWCA of Northwest Georgia also named Cassandra Buckalew, CEO of the Marietta Trolley Co. and community volunteer, as its Woman of the Year at the event.

“We are honored to have these women working and living in our community,” said Holly Tuchman, CEO and executive director of the YWCA of Northwest Georgia. “This is our chance, as a community, to thank Ms. Buckalew and the other honorees for all their hard work and their selfless contributions that enhance our quality of life in Cobb County. These individuals truly represent the very best in our community.”
