Myrtle Evertt
Woman of the Year Awards
|
The Myrtle Evertt Woman of the Year Awards and ceremony was established in 1994 to recognize and honour local women for achievement in business or in a profession.
The nominees are women who make a difference in our communities and who are role models for young women.
The Woman of the Year Awards was named in honour of the first recipient of the award, the late Myrtle Evertt. Sadly, Myrtle passed away at the age 87 on March 5, 2006, but she left an amazing legacy to inspire woman and men. We are pleased to present a short biography on this remarkable woman.
To be nominated for the Myrtle Evertt Woman of the Year Awards, a woman must be:
• A resident of the District of Mission or the City of Abbotsford for a minimum of three years;
• A role model whose success will encourage other women to take on business and professional challenges;
• Making a significant contribution in her place of employment, business or in the community;
• Demonstrating a balance in her commitments to employment, family, community and personal development;
• Not a previous recipient of the Myrtle Evertt Award;
• Not a nominee of the Award for a minimum of three years previous to this year.
The process for selection of the winners is done with utmost professionalism and fairness and to ensure this a number of procedures have been put into place.
Closing date for acceptance of nominations is near the end of March each year
