Nassau County's Women of Distinction 2021

The women we are honoring this year are making their own marks in public service, education, business, health-care, not-for-profit, engineering, real estate, business and the arts.

Although each individual represents a different type of work, they all have something in common: their determination to make a difference and have a long-lasting impact.

Our honorees have all worked their way up the ladder, and are now leading their own teams inspiring others.

Congratulations to all…we know you will continue to have success.
