Assemblyman Tom McKevitt (R,C,I-East Meadow) recently joined local leaders and residents to honor several women from across the 17th Assembly District at his annual “Women of Distinction” Awards. Each year, McKevitt recognizes women throughout his district that have demonstrated an exceptional impact on their communities and the lives of others through their commitment service.
“I have been immensely fortunate during my time in the Assembly to have met countless women whose work has enriched our lives and communities, but too often their contributions have gone unnoticed,” said McKevitt. “The ‘Women of Distinction’ event affords our community the chance to thank these women and recognize them for their dedication and efforts to make a lasting difference in the lives of others. The accomplishments of these women embody a shining example for all to follow.”
The women honored were selected based on their accomplishments in the fields of business, community and civic affairs, education, government, health care, humanitarianism and military service.
