The honored women have contributed to their neighborhoods and communities through service, organizing, or leadership. The award, now in its 14th year, is given to women nominated by people in their own cities and communities.
“The annual Women of the Year Awards Ceremony is among the highlights of my year,” said Rep. Chu. “The honorees have stood out in our communities because of their commitment to give back to the San Gabriel Valley. Every single honoree has been selected through an exhaustive process that begins with a nomination from their neighbors, friends, or family—the people in their communities who know them best and see their service up close. We received a flood of nominations from cities across the 28th congressional district of California, and the winners stood out not only because of their passion and drive, but because of the admiration from their neighbors and fellow citizens. I’m so proud of these role models and am honored to be recognizing them.”
