Selecting Your Honoree

Please make your honoree selection as soon as possible. This year’s deadline

Who should participate in the selection process? That is something your organization needs to decide. Some groups have their officers make the choice; others form a special committee or ask former honorees to participate.

An organization may submit only one honoree each year, and the same woman
