In baseball, lead-off hitters set the tone of the game. They are in charge of igniting the offense. They do whatever it takes to get on base.
This summer the ValleyCats are honoring 10 Capital District women, who are leading-off for their organizations. We are looking for women who ignite their offices, do whatever it takes to implement change – women who just like the lead-off hitter, make things happen!
Nominations are now being accepted for the ValleyCats’ Leading Women Awards. The winners will be honored at the ValleyCats’
Women in Business and Community Night on July 16th. To nominate a Leading Woman, please click the link to the form and complete
and return the nomination form no later than Tuesday, June 16th. Nomination Form PDF
