Thompson Now Accepting Nominations for Woman of the Year

February 15, 2017

Napa, CA – Nominations are now open for Rep. Mike Thompson's (CA-05) annual Woman of the Year Awards. Each year, in honor of National Women's History Month, Thompson recognizes exceptional women across California's Fifth Congressional District for the work they do in our community. Past recipients have been philanthropists, business leaders, educators, public servants, and more.

"Throughout history, women have made tremendous impacts in science, industry, government, the arts, and every other facet of our society," said Thompson. "But too often, their accomplishments and achievements have not received the recognition they deserve. That changes with us. It's my privilege to accept nominations for our Woman of the Year Awards. If you know a woman who's made an impact in our district, please let us know. I look forward to recognizing all our winners next month."

All nominations must be received by February 26, 2017. Completed forms can be emailed to CA05.Nominations@mail.house.gov. Winners will be announced at a public ceremony in March.

Nomination forms and additional information can be found online at https://mikethompson.house.gov/woman-of-the-year.
