In a new tradition made in 2023, the Governor’s Commission for Women will also honor the state’s “pioneer women” to recognize and remember the significant contributions of women from generations past as a source of inspiration for future generations. This new tradition allows us to celebrate these women’s stories and honor their legacy.
