The Mercer County Commission on the Status of Women will host its annual Woman of Achievement and Young Woman of Achievement Awards even on Wednesday, April 16, 2025.

The Woman of Achievement Award was established by the Commission to honor women in Mercer who volunteer their time to make Mercer County a better place to live, work, and raise a family. The Young Woman of Achievement Award honors Mercer County high school seniors who have demonstrated outstanding dedication to volunteer work within the county.

“This year’s honorees come from every walk of life, but they’re united by their dedication to our community and their commitment to helping others,” said County Executive Dan Benson. “I look forward to joining with leaders and residents from throughout Mercer to celebrate their generosity of spirit.”
