Each year in honor of Women’s History Month, I recognize women in one of the communities in my district as New York State Assembly Women of Distinction, and this year I honored women in Bronxville. The award recognizes women in our community who have positively impacted the lives of others.

Congratulations to this year’s honorees: Grace Gilmer, Tibi Guzmán, Niamh Hartnett, Amy Rutter Korb, Nancy McKenna, Mary Liz Mulligan, Lisa Rao and Maria Terjanian. Their dedication to education, health care, environmental advocacy, and community service helps make Bronxville and our entire community a stronger, more vibrant place for all.

Please follow me on my Assembly Facebook, Instagram, X, and Bluesky accounts or visit my Assembly website to stay updated on my legislative happenings. If there is anything you have questions about, or that my office can assist you with, please email me at paulina@nyassembly.gov or call (914) 723-1115.

Sincerely,
Amy Paulin
Member of Assembly, 88th District
