About Commonwealth Heroines

The Commonwealth Heroine Celebration is an opportunity to recognize the women across the state who don’t always make the news but who are truly making a difference in their communities, businesses, or volunteer endeavors.

Nomination Process

We rely on legislators to nominate incredible women in their districts for their contributions to community and Commonwealth. 

The below nomination form will ask for legislator information, honoree information, and a short paragraph (250 words or less) describing why the honoree is being nominated. Thank you in advance for your support in celebrating exceptional women across the Commonwealth! *Note that all information may be used publicly. We ask that you fully complete the nomination form below.
