In celebration of Women's History Month, the Torrance-adjacent El Camino College on Thursday hosts a luncheon to honor past recipients of its "Women of Distinction" award.
Guests at the 12:30 to 2 p.m. event, being held in the school's east dining area, will honor South Bay women who have made a difference in their communities and pre-celebrate Cesar Chavez Day.
Featured speaker Ann Lopez, author of "The Farmworker's Journey," will discuss the struggles of women migrant farm workers as well as her personal journey “from Nature Lover to professor.”
The “Women of Distinction" award recognizes outstanding women from the El Camino College area and honors them for their contributions to the community. Honorees are selected based on their contributions in one or more of the following areas: professional accomplishments; leadership and/or mentorship; and social,
educational, or health services.
Those nominated must also live or work in the communities within the college district: El Segundo, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Lawndale, Lennox, Inglewood, Hawthorne and Torrance.
