The Outstanding Women of Clinton County (OWCC) awards committee is seeking nominations of women who have made important, perhaps unique, economic, social, cultural or humanitarian contributions to their communities.

These women might be a neighbor, fellow employee, family member, friend, teacher or mentor.
