South Carolina Women of Achievement Awards Ceremony

The South Carolina Women of Achievement Awards was presented during Women’s History Month by the Governor’s Office Commission on Women, in celebration of women’s outstanding contributions to home, community, and state. The awards also served to identify women who served as role models for other women in the Palmetto state and to provide information to the lives of outstanding South Carolina women so that women’s history “in process” might be recorded. Hosted at the South Carolina State Museum on March 24, 1995, the seventh annual Women of Achievement Awards Ceremony honored eight South Carolinian women who were leaders in the spheres of education, business, politics, volunteerism, and mental health and disability community advocacy.
