A few examples may include a woman who assisted in establishing a shelter for female domestic violence victims, a woman who began a mentoring program for at-risk girls, and a woman who successfully lobbied her company for an on-site child care program.

Community organizations and individuals are invited to nominate candidates, with their consent. Women are also able to nominate themselves.
