BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The Township of Bloomfield Women’s History Month Committee is seeking nominations for the 2023 Bloomfield “Women to Watch” recognition awards.

Bloomfield municipal officials said the program is open to all women who reside in Bloomfield. Criteria for the recognition include: “local women who forge change in our community and the world around us, elevate visibility of and enhance equity for women, build workplaces where women thrive, pursue goals without bias or barrier, and ensure women feel confident and informed to advocate for themselves and those around them.”
