Nomination Deadline Extended for West Alabama Women of Distinction

Each spring the West Alabama Women of Distinction Luncheon is a unique opportunity to recognize and celebrate women who have made special contributions to their community through civic, church, academic or professional involvement. The Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama invites you to nominate an extraordinary woman to be considered for this award.


Nominees should have a personal record of community involvement, successful career, and be a positive role model for past, current and future Girl Scouts. The nomination deadline has been extended to Friday, February 12 and will recognize women from Marion, Lamar, Fayette, Pickens, Tuscaloosa, Sumter, Greene, Marengo, Hale, Perry and Bibb counties.


Please use the nomination form provided at www.girlscoutsnca.org/wod-tuscaloosa.php and include as much information about your nominee as possible. The selection committee will base their decisions on the information you provide. Nominations should be postmarked, emailed or faxed by February 12.


The Women of Distinction Luncheon will take place on April 8, 2010 at Indian Hills Country Club in Tuscaloosa. The guest speaker will be author Edie Hand (www.ediehand.com). Proceeds from the Women of Distinction Luncheon directly support the Girl Scouts’ mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
