Know a woman who is making an noteworthy contribution to her community?
Then Rep. John Garamendi, D-3rd District, wants to hear from you.
The nomination period is open for his 2016 Women of the Year Awards, his office announced in a brief press release.
Each year, Garamendi recognizes outstanding women of the 3rd Congressional District, who, through their work or volunteerism, have improved the quality of life in their communities.
Organizations and individuals from each of the seven counties he represents besides Lake County, including Colusa, Glenn, Yolo, Sacramento, Sutter and Yuba — are encouraged to submit nominations for a panel review.
Garamendi will recognize honorees at a special event Oct. 13 at Woodland Community College.
Deadline for nominations is Aug. 19. Nominations can be filed electronically or downloaded at www.garamendi.house.gov/womenoftheyear.
Last year’s event honored 35 district women.
For more information, telephone Garamendi’s Davis district office at 753-5301.
