Feb. 22, 2010, 12 a.m. - Prince George’s County Executive Jack Johnson announced that this year’s theme: “Prince George’s Women Continuing A Legacy of Leadership and Service” will differ from the National theme, in order to celebrate the county’s special recognition luncheon that has been consistently hosted for the past 25 years to honor outstanding county government women.

 

“From past to present, women continue to make significant contributions in the operational, administrative and public safety sectors of our county government,” said Johnson. “I am proud that our county has been hosting this important luncheon to honor and celebrate women in government.”

 

During the luncheon, the highly anticipated Gladys Noon Spellman Award and scholarships will be presented.  Throughout her career as a public servant, Gladys Noon Spellman successfully spearheaded many efforts to effect social and political reform in all facets of life for her native Prince George's County, for the State of Maryland, and for the nation.
