If so, nominate her to receive NFWL’s Women of Excellence Award on November 12, 2020. Each winner will receive formal recognition on a zoom session, and the best part is… they will be able to invite their friends and family to watch them receive the award!

The Elected Women of Excellence Award was created to identify and honor women who have worked tirelessly, often breaking down barriers and overcoming obstacles that once seemed insurmountable, to serve their communities. Nominate any elected woman serving on the county, city, or state level who is currently serving in office.

The deadline to nominate an elected woman is September 30th.

Nominate Women of Excellence

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment and women’s constitutional right to vote, NFWL Partnered with the Society of Human Resource Management to share the power and importance of the 19th Amendment. Elected women from all across the country have let us know how to continue the 19th Amendment’s legacy in the workplace.
