Think of friends, neighbors and colleagues who have made a difference through their humanitarian, educational, civic or cultural contributions to Norwich, the Upper Valley, or the world, whether through their work or community service. 2. Write a few paragraphs describing your candidate, their achievements and why you think they have made a difference. We look forward to learning about them! 3. Email your nominations to the Norwich Women's Club, norwichwomensclub@gmail.com by *APRIL 26th * The winner will be announced in mid-May via the listserv, and the award will be presented at a community event on May 31.
