Trailblazers may have a focus in (but not limited to) areas such as criminal and economic justice, education, prevention of violence against women and girls, women’s healthcare, political participation, and/or various organizations that support the interests of women or girls. Recipients of the Trailblazer Award will be recognized during the March 26, 2019 Board of Supervisors meeting, followed by a special recognition gathering.
