Women Of The Year Nominations Being Sought
Last year's Riverside County 1st District Woman of the Year was awarded to University of California, Riverside educator Dr. Pamela Clute.
The County of Riverside Commission for Women is accepting nominations for the 2011 Women of the Year awards. The awards honor an outstanding woman in each supervisorial district who has demonstrated exceptional commitment to her community by working to improve the status of women and their families in Riverside County.
Last year's Riverside County 1st District Woman of the Year was awarded to University of California, Riverside educator Dr. Pamela Clute. District 1 includes Lake Elsinore and Wildomar.
“Dr. Clute’s passion for mathematics education has inspired thousands of students, especially girls and women, to excel in mathematics, science, technology and engineering,” said 1st District Riverside County Supervisor Bob Buster last April when the award was presented. “She brings excitement and recognition to the fact that mathematics is the bedrock of many important disciplines and opportunities.”
