Hamilton seeks Women of the Year from McMaster campus

The City of Hamilton is looking to McMaster University for nominees for Women of the Year.

“I think McMaster has been overlooked in the past,” said Paula Holmes Rodman, chair of the Hamilton Status of Women Committee. “We'd like to change this, and allow women who might not have been aware of the awards to get the recognition they deserve.”

The Women of the Year Awards recognize outstanding achievements and contributions in furthering the position of Hamilton-area women. The award ceremony will be held on May 31 at the Hamilton Convention Centre. Tickets can be ordered by calling 905 546-2424 ext. 1120.

Seven women will be selected from among those nominated in the following areas:

Arts, entertainment and creative energy

Politics and public affairs

Health and wellness

Community development and social activism

Young woman of the year (open a candidate under the age of 19)

Mentoring and education

Volunteerism

A full description of the categories, and nomination forms are available at City Clerks' Office at City Hall, or at any of the municipal service centres. They can also be downloaded at www.hamilton.ca by clicking on Current News, and then on 2004 Women of the Year Awards. Deadline for nominations is April 22, at 4 p.m. For further information, call Paula Holmes-Rodman, chair, Hamilton Status of Women Committee, at 905-523-6412.
