Women of Distinction

The Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce's Women of Distinction honorees for 2017 have been announced.
The chamber announced the recipients of its 2017 Women of Distinction honors earlier this month. The 12 women were chosen from 33 nominations and will be showcased in the chamber's Women of Distinction Calendar.
"The calendar provides an excellent opportunity to recognize outstanding leaders and women in our community and the things they've done in their field or through community service," Chamber Vice President Devin Gorman said, adding it also serves as the chamber's community events calendar.
I was humbled by the nomination and selection as one of the twelve Women of Distinction for 2017. When I moved back to Pittsburg, I had made it a personal goal to become like the women honored in that calendar. I wanted to help make  my community the place I wanted to live in. The best honor, however, was the pride my family showed for me at the ceremony.
