The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Women’s Initiative has announced the opening of nominations for the 2022 Outstanding Women of Northern Kentucky Awards, sponsored by St. Elizabeth Healthcare.
The awards seek to honor women from a diverse range of backgrounds, demographics, and industries who exemplify notable achievement, outstanding service in their professions or to the Northern Kentucky community, and the qualities of personal integrity, perseverance, and leadership.
“The Outstanding Women of Northern Kentucky Awards Luncheon is always an incredible event, but this year feels extra special because we can finally come together to celebrate our region’s influential women after so many months of being apart,” said Mary Lynn Brunemann, Chair of the Outstanding Women of Northern Kentucky Awards. “Each of us knows an exceptional woman who deserves to be recognized for their outstanding service to their profession or to the Northern Kentucky community, this is an opportunity to shine a light on her accomplishments.”
Nominations are now being accepted for the following awards:

The Outstanding Women of Northern Kentucky Awards were established in the fall of 1984 by the late Nancy Boothe, wife of then-NKU President Leon E. Boothe. Since 1985, over 200 women have been recognized for blazing trails, opening doors, or demonstrating leadership in their homes, their professions, their communities, or their state.
