March is International Women’s Month and WGNO and NOLA38 are recognizing the great contributions that women have made to our nation and local communities. Remarkable Women is part of a nationwide Nexstar Media initiative to honor the influence that women have had on public policy, social progress, and the quality of life.
WGNO and NOLA38 celebrate local women that inspire, lead and forge the way for other women. It’s not just about one day or one month — it’s about what they do, day-in and day-out.
One finalist will be revealed each Tuesday in March, beginning on March 9.
