Call for
Nominations:
Women’s History
Month Banquet
Awards 2020
The St. Mary’s County Commission for Women
(CFW) is excited to announce that nominations
are open for the 2020 Woman of the Year and To-
morrow’s Woman Awards. All nominees will be
honored at the Women’s History Month Banquet
Thursday, March 19, 2020, at the Bay District Vol-
unteer Fire Department Social Hall in Lexington
Park, MD.
This year’s banquet marks an important moment
in history, as the CFW celebrates the 100th anni-
versary of the passage of the 19th Amendment to
the United States Constitution. The 2020 banquet
theme, “Valiant Women of the Vote,” pays tribute
to those who have fought for women’s voting rights
in the United States.
During the banquet, the CFW seeks to recognize
inspirational women in St. Mary’s County who
make extraordinary efforts to make the world a
better place through all types of community ser-
vice. Nominations do not need to be related to the
banquet theme.
The Woman of the Year award honors outstand-
ing women who have made significant contribu-
tions to the local region through their volunteer
service. Previous nominees have included volun-
teers from local churches, libraries, senior activity
centers, hospitals, animal shelters, the NAACP and
volunteer rescue squads. The common denomina-
tors among these individuals are leadership, com-
mitment and impact serving St. Mary’s County.
Tomorrow’s Woman celebrates young women
who are already making a difference in St. Mary’s
County. The award recipient will be a high school
student, in grades 9-12, who has made a remark-
able impact to the community through volunteer
service.
To be eligible, nominees in both categories must
currently reside in St. Mary’s County and have
made a positive impact on the local community
through volunteer work.
The CFW encourages individuals, families, char-
ities, educators, civic, community and religious or-
ganizations to submit nominations. Nominating an
exceptional woman honors her efforts before her
family, friends and the community, and brings at-
tention to the causes she serves. Nomination forms
