The honorees have been selected for the 24th-annual Outstanding Women of Clinton County, recognizing women who have enriched the lives of, and had a lasting impact on, their fellow Clinton County residents.
The Class of 2023 is: Buffy Boatman, Eileen Brady, Karen Buckley, Jo Ann Grimshaw, Deanna Liermann, Andrea Tacoronte, and Pauline Taylor.
Each honoree will be individually profiled in the pages of the News Journal in the days leading up to the 2023 Outstanding Women of Clinton County luncheon ceremony, set for Saturday, April 8 at the Roberts Centre near Wilmington. Doors will open at 11:30 with the luncheon starting promptly at noon.
The keynote speaker will be funny motivational speaker Kay Frances, who is “Helping America Stress Less. One Laugh at a Time.”
The first luncheon was held to honor the initial class of Outstanding Women of Clinton County in 2000, recognizing the women of Clinton County who have made important economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian contributions to their communities. Each honoree in 2000 received a citation, a bouquet of flowers and a medallion on a pink ribbon — traditions which continue today. Since then, well over 150 women have received this honor at the annual event.
The Outstanding Women of Clinton County committee also awards four scholarships — one each to students in Wilmington, Blanchester, East Clinton and Clinton-Massie high schools.
This year’s scholarship winners are: Emma Falgner, Jenna Allemang, Jenna Hanlon, and Ryleigh Tooill.
This year’s scholarship winners will also be profiled in the News Journal and recognized at the April 8 luncheon.
