BOSTON — Each year, the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women partners with state legislators to identify women who make outstanding contributions to their organizations and in their communities. Today, the MSCW is honored to announce the full list of awardees and their nominating legislators, with Terri Farrell of Lynnfield awarded after being nominated by state Rep. Brad Jones.
Elected officials are encouraged to submit one woman from their constituency as a means of recognizing their invaluable efforts and extraordinary acts of service, who are making a big difference in their communities but not necessarily making the news. This year, the Class of 2024 Commonwealth Heroines comprises more than 125 women from across the state, leaders in industry, business, nonprofit, advocacy, and more.
The MCSW will be celebrating the 21st Annual Commonwealth Heroines Class of 2024 on Friday, June 14, 2024 at the Massachusetts State House in the Gardner Auditorium. Opening remarks will be made by MCSW Chairwoman Dr. Sarah Glenn-Smith, followed by a special recognition of all 125 honorees and the 2024 MCSW Scholarship award winners in celebration of our 25th anniversary.
