The UCC’s Inspirational Women Awards program annually recognizes women of outstanding achievement who have inspired others with their individual stories and accomplishments. Established by the UCC in 2015, it has become a distinguished and highly anticipated Valley tradition.

“The UCC seeks nominees who have not always been in the spotlight or who have not been previously acknowledged - women who could be described as low profile or behind the scenes workers who have overcome unique challenges in finding ways to serve their communities,” explained Jocz. “We aim to recognize women not only for their successes but for how they have inspired others, served as mentors and, through their contributions, made the San Fernando Valley a better place.”

Organizations and businesses across the San Fernando Valley are invited to submit their nominations for candidates. The deadline for submissions is 12 noon, March 10th. Honorees are selected from a wide array of industries including, but not limited to, business, social services, health care and medicine, education, community advocacy, arts, government and non-profit. The honorees are chosen by a committee composed of previous award winners and community leaders.

If you would like assistance with the form or have questions, you can contact Tim Vints at ucctimvints@gmail.com or Marian Jocz at marian@unitedchambers.org or (818) 981-4491.

The Inspirational Women of the San Fernando Valley Awards luncheon will be held May 11, 2023.
