You know her. She’s the woman who puts everyone else before herself. Who’s constantly taking care of others and volunteering whenever she can. Now is your chance to nominate her for this year’s “Woman of the Year,” courtesy of the Junior League of Indianapolis.

As part of its 95th year, the Junior League celebrates the honor with a one-time distinction that will recognize a woman in the community who has made a significant impact on Indianapolis and whose efforts are consistent with the Junior League’s mission, vision and values.
