EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — March is International Women’s Month, and WPRI 12 is once again honoring the Remarkable Women in our lives.
From late November through late December, Southern New Englanders nominated local women who inspire, lead and forge the way for others, highlighting their accomplishments and contributions to our community.
From those submissions, four finalists were selected, who will be featured Tuesday mornings in March. Tune in to 12 News This Morning and The Rhode Show on March 14, 21 and 28 to see interviews with the finalists and hear their stories.
Once a local winner is chosen, she’ll be considered for Nexstar Media’s nationwide Woman of the Year award.
