Carson City Soroptimist asks public to nominate local women for Ruby Award
Soroptimist International of Carson City is asking the public to nominate women for its annual “Women Helping Women” Ruby Award. The Soroptimist Ruby Award honors women who, through their professional or personal efforts, are making extraordinary differences in the lives of women or girls.
Their work has had a significant impact, as well as inspires and encourages other women. Women may nominate themselves or another woman they feel is deserving of this honor.
The 2020 Ruby Award recipient will be announced and recognized at the club's “Celebrating Women Helping Women” event on Thursday evening, Feb. 20, 2020. As part of this recognition, the club will make a $1,000 donation to a local nonprofit organization of the recipient's choice in her honor. The awardee will also be considered for a Soroptimist Sierra Nevada Region Ruby Award which is announced in late April 2020.
The Nomination form may be downloaded at www.sicarsoncity.org/home/ruby-award. For more information or a hard copy of the form, contact Mary Luster at 775-220-9630 or email mary_luster@sbcglobal.net. Nomination deadline is 5 p.m., Feb. 7, 2020.
