Rep. Judy Chu Hosts 4th Annual Women of Distinction Awards

San Marino, CA – On Saturday, Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27) recognized outstanding women from the 28th Congressional District during her fourth annual Women of Distinction Awards in Huntington Library in San Marino.

The event honored women entrepreneurs, volunteers, civil servants and a female Olympian, all from the San Gabriel Valley. The 16 honorees represent the 16 cities in the 28th Congressional District. Each honoree was chosen from nominations submitted by members of their communities.

“No words can describe the contributions that all sixteen of these amazing women have made to our community in the San Gabriel Valley and to the world at large,” said Rep. Chu. “From competing for our nation on the global stage, to advocating for those with developmental disabilities, to representing the cutting edge of entrepreneurial achievement, each one has had a profound impact on the world around them. Most importantly, all overcame tremendous obstacles in their careers, proving themselves to be wonderful role models for others who aspire to their success. I thank each of this year’s 16 Women of Distinction for their contributions, and urge them to continue being a shining beacon of inspiration for women and girls in our district and around the world.”
