EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — March is International Women’s Month and once again, WPRI 12 is honoring those who inspire, lead, and forge the way for other women.

In December, WPRI 12 began accepting nominations for Remarkable Women as part of a nationwide Nexstar Media initiative, now in its second year. The nominees come from all walks of life and were recognized for the influence they’ve had on public policy, social progress, and quality of life.

It’s not just about one day or month — it’s about what they do, day in and day out.

Beginning on March 9, one of our four local finalists will be featured every Tuesday on 12 News This Morning and The Rhode Show to tell her story and highlight her accomplishments. All of this year’s finalists’ stories will also be posted here on WPRI.com.

Then, on Thursday, April 1, the winner will be announced and entered as a finalist for the National “Nexstar Woman of the Year” award.
