Hannon Seeking Nominations for 2015 Women of Distinction

I’m inviting all Sixth Senatorial District residents to nominate a special woman whose outstanding work on behalf of her community makes her deserving of special recognition by the New York State Senate. The Senate’s ‘Women of Distinction’ Program honors the remarkable efforts of residents who contribute to making our communities better, our families stronger, and serve as examples to others.

The Senate will honor distinguished women from each Senate District. The honoree’s photograph and biography will become part of a special exhibit proclaiming the contributions of these exemplary New York women. Senator Hannon’s nominee will join other distinguished ladies from across New York State at a May 5th ceremony in the State’s capital.

This program provides a special opportunity to honor extraordinary women for their achievements and to thank them for the pride they bring to our communities.

Previous winners in this annual event have included women from the world of business, academics, and civic life. Additionally, those who have performed heroic or selfless acts, made significant discoveries, or provided examples of personal excellence against difficult odds have enjoyed recognition.

I welcome your nominations for my 2015 “Woman of Distinction,” and encourage you to nominate your friends, coworkers and neighborhood leaders. Please contact my Community Office at 516-739-1700.

Anyone wishing to nominate a Woman of Distinction should provide a short cover letter supporting their nomination, a 250-word biography, and a high-resolution photograph. The deadline for submissions is April 2, 2015.
