Thank you for your nominations for our Remarkable Women contest! We’re excited to introduce our four finalists during International Women’s Month in March.

KAMR Local 4 News looks forward to recognizing the great contributions women have made to our nation and local communities. Remarkable Women is part of a nationwide Nexstar Media initiative to honor the influence that women have had on public policy, social progress and the quality of life.

KAMR Local 4 News will celebrate local women who inspire, lead and forge the way for other women. It’s not just about one day or one month — it’s about what they do, day-in and day-out.

In March, we’ll highlight four local women who will be considered for Nexstar’s nationwide 2023 Woman of the Year Award. One local winner will be selected to earn a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Los Angeles.

See the map below for a look at the Remarkable Women of 2022 around the nation.
