Wanted: Outstanding Women

March is National Women’s History Month, which is a great time to honor four Outstanding Women of New Hampshire. The theme for this year’s award is Women’s Education – Women’s Empowerment, so KSC plans to celebrate and honor the stories of women who have been integral to the history of our campus, our community, and our state. Awards will be given to women in four categories: KSC student, KSC faculty or staff member, greater Monadnock community resident, and New Hampshire resident. If you know someone who deserves this honor, please prepare a letter of nomination and submit it to the Campus Commission for the Status of Women by 5 p.m. on Friday, January 20, 2012.

We will honor four women who contribute to the support and advancement of women. Their contributions might include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Volunteer/community work
  • Leadership positions
  • Support for the goals and interests of women in the community
  • Role model/mentor for others
  • Organizer of campus or community events
  • Voicing women’s concerns on campus or in the community
  • Working to expand the vision of equality for women

You can find more nomination information on the Outstanding Women of New Hampshire Awards page, or you may email Meriem Pages. The award ceremony and reception will be held Wednesday, March 28, 2012, at 7 p.m. in the Mabel Brown Room.
