Women sought for hall of fame
The Alameda County Commission of the Status of Women is asking county residents to submit nominations for the Alameda County Women’s Hall of Fame.
The hall of fame program honors those outstanding women who deserve recognition for their work and accomplishments in business, community service, art, education, environmental preservation, health, justice, science, sports or youth. Nominees can be of any age, but should be established in their respective positions. Previous winners include Sherry M. Hirota, Mother Mary Ann Wright, and Dr. Cynthia Harris.
The newest entrants into the hall of fame will be celebrated at a special luncheon on March 8, 2003 at the Oakland Airport Hilton. The proceeds of those tickets will benefit breast cancer awareness and education.
Applications will be accepted until Jan. 10, 2003. Nomination forms are offered through the County’s Administration office at 1221 Oak St., 5th floor, Suite 555. Alternatively, forms are available by phoning the Alameda County Commission of the Status of women at 259-3868, or by visiting www.acgov.org.
