In honor of Women’s History Month, The Mayor’s Commission on the Status of Women is accepting nominations to recognize women who have made a significant impact to the Jacksonville community.

Ten local women will be selected as finalists, with four women to be featured as honorees on the annual poster celebrating Women’s History Month. They will be recognized during a breakfast program held at the University of North Florida’s Student Center on March 17. This year’s theme is:



HerStory: Honoring All Women

Nomination forms are available at www.coj.net/MCSW or by email at mcsw@coj.net. For further information call Alaina Reaves, staff liaison for the MCSW, at (904) 630-1618.
