ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA — Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley announced that nominations are now open for her third annual Women Making A Difference Awards. The national theme this year for Women’s History Month in March is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.” This year, Supervisor Foley seeks to honor women in the Orange County legal community who represent and/or advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion.  

“As a lawyer and law firm owner, and the only woman on our County Board of Supervisors comprised of five lawyers, I understand the unique role of women lawyers breaking into professions traditionally dominated by men. For the 2024 Women’s History Month, we want to celebrate the women in our legal community who represent change and champion diversity, equity, and inclusion,” said Supervisor Foley. “In Orange County, diversity is our strength. I hope my annual Women Making A Difference recognition event empowers current and future generations of women to pursue their dreams and reach beyond even their own expectations. I look forward to recognizing the outstanding women leading in our legal profession who make Orange County a more just, equitable and overall better place to live, work, and play.”
