The National Foundation for Women Legislators Announces Representative Holly Raschein as a 2016 Elected Women of Excellence Honoree

(Alexandria, VA) – The National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) is proud to announce Representative Holly Raschein as a 2016 Elected Women of Excellence Award winner.

This award was created to identify women who have worked tirelessly, often breaking down barriers and overcoming obstacles that once seemed insurmountable, to serve their communities. These pacesetters have engendered an environment where women can now serve in public office and fight for the issues they are passionate about.

The 2016 Women of Excellence winners will be presented with an award at the Women of Excellence ceremony at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel on Wednesday November 16th, during the 2016 Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida.

“Part of the spirit of NFWL is that we take time to acknowledge the significant accomplishments of the women around us and we are delighted to recognize this year’s honorees,” remarks NFWL Chair Delaware Representative Helene Keeley.

Representative Holly Raschein was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2012, representing the 120th District which includes south Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys. She has served as a State Director for NFWL since 2014 and in 2016 was elected to the organization’s national Board of Directors as the Co-Chair of Development.

The winners were nominated by their colleagues and constituents from their home states and then chosen by a distinguished panel of NFWL members.

“We congratulate our winners from this year and look forward presenting them with their award in November” Representative Keeley concludes.
