YWCA North Central Indiana and Safe Haven Shelter have named the RV Women’s Alliance (RVWA) as their 2026 Community Partner of the Year, recognizing the organization’s leadership within the RV industry and its ongoing commitment to community impact.
The designation highlights the RVWA’s role as a strategic partner supporting initiatives that strengthen women, families and workforce communities across North Central Indiana.

“RV Women’s Alliance represents the kind of industry leadership that extends beyond the workplace,” said Amy Hill, chief executive officer of YWCA North Central Indiana. “Their commitment to service and partnership has made a meaningful difference in our ability to support individuals and families seeking safety and stability.”
The RVWA is a national organization dedicated to advancing women in the recreational vehicle industry through education, leadership development, and professional connections.
