Women of Distinction awards submission deadline December 31 Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto reminds residents that it’s not too late to submit nominations for the annual Women of Distinction awards program. The deadline for submissions is December 31. “Now in our ninth year, the Town of Oyster Bay is proud to recognize the extraordinary contributions and achievements of women who either live or work in the Town,” Supervisor Venditto said. “Anyone who would like to submit a nomination form can obtain one from local libraries within the Town, at Town Halls North and South, or may visit the Town’s Web site, www.oysterbaytown.com.” The Supervisor stated that women can be nominated in one of eight categories: Arts: An outstanding woman who has contributed to the cultural life of the community through theatre, dance, music, art or literature. Business: A professional woman in a position as owner, CEO or high-level manager of a business or industry. Community and Civic Affairs: A leader, supervisor, administrator, manager or member who has made a contribution to the community. Education: A woman educator, administrator or director of a public or private institution of learning who has been outstanding in the field. Government: A woman who has made an outstanding contribution to the community through her work in or with local government. Health Services: An iIndividual who has made an outstanding contribution in the health services field. Humanitarian: An outstanding woman who has made a contribution to the community. This individual may or may not be affiliated with a commercial, professional or non-profit agency or group. Volunteer: A woman who has made an outstanding contribution in serving the needs of others. “I encourage our residents to look around at the remarkable women in their lives and to nominate somebody who may become a Town of Oyster Bay Woman of Distinction,” Supervisor Venditto said. “Young women throughout the Town do not need to look to Hollywood actresses or pop stars for their role models, they can look right here in the Town of Oyster Bay. Recipients of this award carry it with a sense of responsibility, as well as pride.” Honorees will be recognized at a Town Board meeting held in March 2007, in honor of Women’s History Month.
