Commission for Women Seeks Award Nominations
The St. Mary’s County Commission for Women will hold its annual Women’s History Month brunch and awards ceremony to recognize the accomplishments of women and girls in the community. The event will take place Saturday, March 29, 2025, in Callaway.
Doors will open at 10:30am at the White Rose at 21030 Point Lookout Road.
This year’s theme is “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.”
Each year four awards are presented: the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lifetime Achievement and Hometown Shero awards (selected by CFW), and the Woman of the Year and Tomorrow’s Woman awards (community nomination; selected by independent panel of judges).
Charlottis Woodley, a longtime advocate for education and community empowerment, will receive the 2025 Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lifetime Achievement award. The 2025 Hometown Shero award will be presented to Norma Pipkin and Marta Kelsey to recognize their many years of service to the community.
