El Camino College Seeks Nominations for 2025 Distinguished Women’s Wall of Fame
The El Camino College Women’s History Month Committee is seeking candidates for the 2025 Distinguished Women’s Wall of Fame.
Now in its 28th year, the Women of Distinction Award recognizes outstanding women from El Camino College and the community it serves, selected by the committee during March, which is Women’s History Month. Award nominations may be made by friends, family, and colleagues; individuals may also nominate themselves.
Those nominated for the award must live or work in the communities within the El Camino Community College District: El Segundo, Hawthorne, Hermosa Beach, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lennox, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Torrance.
Nominees will be judged for their contributions to women’s and girls’ causes at the college or community level that align with this year’s National Women’s History Month theme, “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.” This theme celebrates the collective strength and influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership. Through their efforts, they have served as an inspiration for all generations – both past and present. From classrooms to boardrooms, and from grassroots movements to global initiatives, women educators and leaders have played a pivotal role in nurturing minds and inspiring transformative action.
The nomination deadline is March 10. The leaders will be honored at the Women’s History Month Reception scheduled for March 27. Honorees will also be featured on the El Camino College Distinguished Women’s Wall of Fame throughout the year, and their names will be engraved on a plaque that remains on the wall permanently.
To nominate a candidate, learn more about this year’s theme, explore a variety of Women’s History Month events on campus, or see a list of previous honorees, view: www.elcamino.edu/events/womens-history-month/index.php.
