As part of Women's History Month, every year CWN honors its Women of Achievement. Celebration is set for March 26, 2024!

This year's honoree is none other than -


Tammie Collins



Remember the criteria for evaluation:

  • Contributions to the advancement of women-how they have promoted other women, 
  • how they have served as mentors.
  • Contributions to the community.
  • Contributions to their profession. 

It is very important that the nominee has promoted other women and served as mentors, formally or informally. 

     If you have nominated someone in the past three years, please bring to our attention that you would like to have that one re-evaluated.

After all, that is what a CWN member does and who she is. Nominate someone today! The deadline for nominations has been extended to December 2nd
