Woman of the Year

Top Ten Nominee

A Woman of the Year is chosen each year to represent her chapter.  This individual is chosen based on unselfishly giving her time to ABWA.  Each chapter defines the criteria necessary for the nominees, utilizes National’s information, or a combination of the two. The chapter’s Woman of the Year represents the chapter in ABWA and community activities.  Women of the Year are honored annually at the Houston Area Council’s Woman of the Year Luncheon and at the Woman of the Year/Top Ten luncheon at all Spring Conferences and the National Women’s Leadership Conference.

Each year chapters emphasize the outstanding achievement and contributions members make by electing a chapter Woman of the Year that is the personification of the Tomball Charter Chapter. To be eligible for nomination of chapter Woman of the Year, a member must:

1. Be female
2. An ABWA Tomball Chapter member for at least 1 year
3. A member in good standing locally and nationally
4. A current/past chapter officer or current/past committee chair
5. Have made a major contribution in time or effort to the group
