CULLMAN —
The Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama (GSNCA) is now accepting nominations for each of the Women of Distinction awards programs. Nominations may be submitted by any individual, employer, civic organization or agency in each of the three areas. Selection of awardees will be in December by a group of community leaders from across our council.
The 2013 North Alabama Women of Distinction awards are open to all women in Colbert, Cullman, DeKalb, Franklin, Jackson, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, Morgan and Winston counties who have made a special contribution to their community through civic, academic or professional efforts. Nominations may be submitted by any individual, employer, civic organization or agency in North Alabama. Women chosen for this award will be recognized at the annual Women of Distinction event at the Marriott on Thursday, May 9, 2013. GSNCA will also present the Christine Richard Lifetime Achievement Award which honors the memory of a beloved community leader whose contributions had far-reaching impact for the north Alabama area. Nomination forms are available online at girlscoutsnca.org/wodnorth.
The deadline for all nominations is Nov. 19, 2012. The Women of Distinction Awards Program is the premier fundraising event for GSNCA. All proceeds from these events directly support the Girl Scouts’ mission to build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.
