Seward Begins Accepting ‘Women of Distinction’ Nominees for Annual Celebration

State Senator James Seward announced plans for the State Senate’s annual Women of Distinction celebration.

The Senate will honor distinguished women from throughout the state at a May 7 Albany reception, where each honoree’s photograph and biography will become part of a special exhibit proclaiming the exceptional contributions of exemplary New York women.

Previous honorees have included leading women from the worlds of business, academics and civic life, as well as those who have performed heroic or selfless acts, made significant discoveries or provided examples of personal excellence against difficult odds.

Women who live in the 51st senate district are eligible to be considered for recognition.

The easiest way to nominate a “Woman of Distinction” is by filling out a special online form at Senator Seward’s website. Nomination forms are also available by contacting Senator Seward’s district office at (607) 432-5524.
