The Delaware County Women’s Commission understands that storytelling—in all its many forms, including print, radio, TV, music, news, blogs, podcasts, social media and more—is a sacred tradition in our collective histories and critical to the positive portrayal of women in our culture. Storytelling is essential in rendering the shared history and individual stories of women visible and accessible.
This year, the Delaware County Women’s Commission selected four women to be honored for their contributions as a “Woman of Achievement.” These are women who have devoted their lives and talents to producing art and news, pursuing truth and reflecting society.
The “Woman of Achievement” award consists of three categories: “Past” (in honor of a deceased storyteller who had an historical impact); “Present” (in recognition of a current female storyteller from our community); and “Future” (in recognition of an up-and-coming young woman whose stories are just embarking on their storytelling path). The 2023 “Woman of Achievement” winners include:
Nancy V. Webster, Woman of Achievement: Past
Peg DeGrassa, Woman of Achievement: Present
Leigh Anne McKelvey, Woman of Achievement: Present
Jacquona Blackwell, Woman of Achievement: Future
