Seventieth District Assemblymember Patrick O’Donnell last week hosted his annual Women of Distinction ceremony in honor of Women’s History Month.
Honorees were nominated by their colleagues in one of five categories— Creative Industries, Business, Community Service, Education and Health Services— and selected by Assemblymember O’Donnell for their achievements.
“I am humbled by the opportunity to honor and celebrate a group of women who represent the very best of our community,” O’Donnell said. “Now more than ever, it is critical that we take a moment to recognize the inspirational role these women play in the lives of others and express our appreciation for their invaluable contributions.”
