Nominations will be accepted through Feb. 16 for the 2024 Women of Vision Awards, sponsored by the Arlington Commission on the Status of Women.
“These awards honor women for their accomplishments and contributions to improving the lives and opportunities for Arlington residents especially women,” the county-government advisory body said in putting out a call for nominees.
Past honorees “have communicated their vision for women and engaged community members and other leaders to realize this vision,” noted the advisory body, which turns 50 years old in 2024.
Awards will be presented in three categories: business, non-profits and government/politics.
The honor originated in 1988 as the Person of Vision Award. (Fun fact: Arthur Gosling, at the time the superintendent of the county school system, was the male recipient before the award’s name and selection criteria were changed to focus exclusively on women.)
For information and nomination forms, see the county government’s Website at www.arlingtonva.us and search for “Women of Vision.”
