’48 Arizona Women’ honors the states most remarkable women

More from this show

“48 Arizona Women” recognizes Arizona women who are making an impact in their communities, often with little fanfare. The program began in 2010 as an official Arizona Centennial Legacy Project.

Based in Scottsdale, the 501(c)(3) organization’s mission is to build stronger communities and transform lives.

Every 5 years, the organization honors statewide professional and non-professional women from diverse backgrounds whose leadership and commitment are contributing to a positive future in Arizona.

This year, they are partnering with the Arizona Historical Society and the America 250 event on March 20.

Rosie Rios, America 250 and Connie Robinson, Chair of 48 Women Arizona, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about the organization.
