"Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations"
The theme for 2025 is " Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations ". This theme recognizes "women, past, present, and future”, throughout the county spotlighting the contributions women have made to the American educational system, the free marketplace of ideas, and the very fabric of our democracy. From classrooms to boardrooms, and from grassroots movements to global initiatives, women educators and leaders have played a pivotal role in nurturing minds and inspiring transformative action.
The Delaware County Women's Commission recognizes the powerful impact women have in shaping the future of our nation. As key members of families, civic and community groups, businesses, and legislative bodies, women are at the forefront of challenging the status quo. With a focus on "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations," they are addressing harmful social policies and behaviors that influence our collective future. Across communities, women are driving innovative programs and initiatives within corporations, the military, federal agencies, and educational organizations, paving the way for justice, empowerment, and opportunities for generations to come.
The Commission will honor three women, representing: Hall of Fame (Past) - Honors the memory of a deceased woman leader Woman of Achievement (Present) - Honors a current Visionary Leader from our community Woman of Achievement (Future) - Honors a young woman who is making a difference today, all within the context of our theme.
Recipients must be a woman whose leadership contributions helped shape the history of Delaware County. The honoree recipient must have lived in Delaware County.
