Malden Champion Honored At State House

MALDEN, MA — A Malden woman's service to the city recently earned her the honor of being named to the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women’s 2017 class of Unsung Heroines.

Anna Tse was recommended by Rep. Steve Ultrino for the recognition, given May 21 in the Great Hall at the State House.

Tse’s work has helped empower senior citizens, women, and the Chinese community in Malden, a release from Ultrino's office says. She has been a political and social advocate, as well as a journalist, interpreter, and translator. Tse is the Community Organizer for the Metro North area on the Mass Senior Action Council and President on its Board of Directors at YWCA Malden.

"Anna is a wonderful organizer and advocate and a powerful force for our city," said Ultrino. "She has helped so many people in our community have a voice. I’m proud to have nominated her for the 2017 Unsung Heroine Award, and fortunate to have her as a constituent."

The Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women is an independent state agency that was legislatively created in 1998 to advance women of the Commonwealth to full equality in all areas of life and to promote their rights and opportunities. The MCSW provides a permanent, effective voice for the women of Massachusetts.
