Submissions for the annual Women of Distinction Awards will now be accepted until March 29th.
The deadline was extended in order to give nominators the chance to finish any last minute nominations if they were missing critical information.
Nina Cordell, Women’s Programs Coordinator at the YWCA, explains the criteria for nominating someone for the award.
“Any woman who lives in Manitoba in a community that is north of the 53rd parallel, they have to give consent, and they have to be available for the awards dinner which is on April 23rd. And we have two categories; we have Woman of Distinction, which is 31 and over, and we have the Chantelle Chornoby Memorial Award, geared toward the young women, 30 years and younger.”
Cordell also say that on top of that criteria, nominees must also be of good standing and play an active role within the community.
