MIDDLEBURY — WomenSafe is accepting nominations for the 2016 Kimberly Krans Women Who Change the World Award.
Each year, a nomination committee selects a woman whose work or volunteer efforts in Addison County or the town of Rochester have had positive impacts on the women and/or children in the community.
The recipient’s name will be engraved on a plaque that is presented to her in March (Women’s History Month) during an award celebration in her honor. Previous award recipients include Sue Prager, Pam Marsh, Betsy Gossens, Molly Fitzpatrick, Beth Diamond, Jean Shappee, Diana Rule, Lauraine Warfield, Dottie Neuberger, Betsy Ouellette, Natalie Peters and Susan Veguez.
WomenSafe is asking anyone who knows a woman who deserves recognition for her outstanding work and dedication to submit an essay of 500 words or less that describes her and her efforts and the reasons she should be the recipient of the 2015 Kimberly Krans Women Who Change the World Award.
