The Commission for Women is hosting its annual Women’s History Brunch and Awards Ceremony to recognize the accomplishments of women and girls in our community. Each year, four awards are presented: the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lifetime Achievement and Hometown Shero awards (selected by CFW members), and the Woman of the Year and Tomorrow’s Woman awards (community nominations, selected by an independent panel of judges).

We are pleased to announce that the 2025 Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lifetime Achievement Award will be given to Charlottis Woodley, a longtime advocate for education and community empowerment. The 2025 Hometown Shero award will be presented to Norma Pipkin and Marta Kelsey to recognize their many years of service to the community. The keynote speaker for the event is Dr. Yolanda Wilson, president of the College of Southern Maryland.
