Our Awards Program

A program of awards has been established to recognize women of achievement, “past, present and future”. The “Past” awards are posthumous, and recognize women of the past for their achievements. The “Present” lifetime achievement awards recognize the accomplishments of today’s women. The “Future” awards honor young artists, scientists, historians, preservationists or businesswomen who, early in their careers, have made remarkable contributions and show great promise. This program is designed to recognize the continuum of women’s achievements.
