Congratulations, Pastor Christina, on being selected to receive the Woman of Distinction Award! Your dedication to serving women through mentorship, conferences, and impactful events has inspired and empowered so many lives. Your compassionate leadership, generous heart, and unwavering commitment to giving back truly set you apart. You are truly a woman of excellence, and this honor is well deserved.
Join me this Friday evening for my annual Women of Distinction Awards Ceremony as we recognize five incredible women from our community whose dedication and service have helped make the Capital Region a better place to live, work and call home.
This is always one of my favorite events of the year because it gives us the opportunity to celebrate women whose hard work and impact may not always receive the recognition they deserve.
This year’s honorees are:
• Mary E. Brizzell
• Linda Harrison
• Pamela Pearlman
• Pastor Christina D. Staton
• Carol Ann Werblin
The ceremony will take place Friday, May 15 at 6 p.m. at the Village of Colonie Family Recreation Center.
I hope you will join us as we celebrate these outstanding women and all they have done for our community.
