We are happy and proud to share the news that ITSS staff member Becky Nelson is the 2019 recipient of the Linda Larson Commission for Women Staff Woman of the Year Award.
Becky was recognized for her work with the Twin Ports Feminist Action Collective, supporting women who were running for election gain access to leadership positions by giving time, energy, and voice, for her work with our local Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) group and NAACP chapter, former involvement on the Commission for Women, and now as an advocate as the chair of the Civil Service Senate Consultative Committee.
Congratulations Becky!
