The Alexandria Commission for Women is pleased to announce this year’s outstanding Salute to Women Award nominees, whose names were submitted in consideration of their significant contributions to the City of Alexandria:  Laura Bailey; Rose Williams Boyd; Marcia Call; Allison Clausen; Royce Cohen; Audrey Davis; Kimberly Fiske; Karen Gautney; Frances Hicks; Alicia Hughes; Alice Merrill; Lynn O’Connell; Linda Odell; Diane Reese; Jeanette Spicer; State Senator Patsy Ticer; and Jen Walker.
