Austin’s Zonta Club is seeking nominations for its Women of Achievement Award, which will be given at a dinner in March.

The Zonta Club of Austin is looking to the community to nominate women in Mower County to be candidates for our Woman of Achievement Dinner on March 23 at Holiday Inn Conference Center.

For the last three years women have been nominated by family, friends or work colleagues for this honor. Jeanne Sheehan, Elaine Hansen and Gayle Dennison have been the past award winners.
