Nominations Sought for 'Hidden Jewel' Award

The Greater Salem Chamber of Commerce is seeking nominations for the 'Hidden Jewel" award, which honors a local woman each year.

Nominees for the fifth annual award must reside or work in the Greater Salem area, which includes Windham.

According to a release from Windham's Community Development Department, women who have made an outstanding contribution to society or the community, shown dedication to a cause or touched the life of an individual in a significant way are eligible for nomination.

The nominee does not need to be a buisness woman or a member of the Salem Chamber.

Last year, Windham Rep. Mary Griffin and resident Joanne Flynn received the award.

Visit the Salem Chamber website to find out how to nominate someone.
