O'Mara seeks nominations for New York State Senate's Women of Distinction
SOUTHERN TIER, N.Y. (WETM) — If you know a woman in the Southern Tier who has made a positive impact on her community, consider nominating her for an award from the New York State Senate.
State Senator Tom O'Mara is looking for nominations for the 27th annual Women of Distinction program. This program recognizes one woman from each New York State Senate district who has made exceptional contributions to local communities. Community members nominate exceptional women, and each state senator selects an honoree to represent their legislative district. The selected Woman of Distinction will be honored during a ceremony in Albany.

'The 'Woman of Distinction' tribute is a meaningful recognition. I look forward to this annual opportunity to recognize an outstanding area citizen,' said O'Mara. 'We all know someone who makes an enormous difference to the community at large. Whether she is a service provider, a law enforcement officer going above and beyond the call of duty, a teacher, a nurse, a business leader, or simply a community resident known for her good deeds, I'd like to see her recognized.'
O'Mara is accepting submissions of women who live within his district, which includes all of Chemung, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga, and Yates counties and parts of Allegany County, until Friday, March 14. People can nominate someone by filling out this form from O'Mara's page on the New York State Senate website.
