ASHLAND — The Ashland County Women of Achievement are seeking nominations for the class of 2025.

The organization recognizes women who have reached beyond themselves to contribute substantially to the quality and betterment of Ashland County through involvement with family, career, community, volunteerism and social issues.  Nominees must have lived in Ashland County for at least 5 years and be a current resident. 

We recognize that there are many young women in our county who contribute greatly to our community as well and are examples of excellence to others.  Therefore, the board of Ashland County Women of Achievement has created a fund and award, where they will be recognized along with a financial gift. One outstanding young woman in our county each year will be our Young Woman to Watch. Nominees for the Young Woman to watch must be under 21 years of age. 

Nomination forms can be picked up at the Ashland and Loudonville public libraries, or can be found at and submitted to: ashlandwomenofachievement@gmail.com

A recognition will be held at Mount Vernon Estate on September 25, 2025.

All nominations must be received by July 11, 2025.
