2020 Women of Achievement Recipients Recognized
MUSKINGUM COUNTY, Ohio- The 2020 Muskingum County Women of Achievement recipients are continuing to be recognized virtually this week.
The seven 2020 recipients were chosen and announced last year and had a chance to have a luncheon together right before the state shut down due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Now, a year later, these women are being celebrated through Facebook with video tributes. “I hope that at some point we get the chance to celebrate in person again and I just truly want to congratulate each one of them. They’re so unique, they have such great skills and charisma. If watching their videos on Facebook this week doesn’t make people feel proud about the community we’re in, I don’t know what would,” said recipient Sarah Wickerham.
