“We are pleased to celebrate National Women’s History Month by honoring five outstanding citizens who have helped improve the quality of life for residents in Los Angeles County,” remarked Assemblyman Mike Davis.  “Each of these women contributes to making Los Angeles County a great place to live.  Their commitment to helping others, whether its children in their community, their neighborhoods, families in need or businesses in our city, makes them great citizens worthy of recognition.”
March is National Women’s History Month and is an ideal time to consider the many ways that women, these distinguished honorees in particular, have changed our community.  Each one has worked tirelessly and diligently in their chosen fields to make a difference in the lives of others.
The inspirational remarks from these phenomenal women had a common thread – a passion for service to others.
