Zonta Club of Hilo honors Lorraine Inouye, Hawaii State Senator, whose career in public service spans over four decades.
The Zonta Club of Hilo established the Rose Award of Excellence in 2004 to recognize women in our community, or connected to our community, who have made a significant impact on the lives of others through their employment, volunteer activities, and associations. Many outstanding women helped shape our community and many strong female leaders continue to contribute their talents and skills to improve the quality of life in this state, nation, and world. The Rose Award of Excellence seeks to recognize and honor these achievers and to provide visible examples for tomorrow’s female leaders. The honor is presented in March to coincide with International Women’s Day. Nominations are sought from within the Club.
