PRAA invites to join our 2021 virtual Felisa Rincón de Gautier Distinguished Woman Award event. This year's event honors the 2020 distinguished woman award recipients Dr. Carmen Ayala; Education Award, Adamari Lopez; Culture & Media Award, and Dr. Wanda Figueroa-Peralta; Advocacy Award. The 2020 event was postponed due to the circumstances of COVID-19.

This event was created in 2017 to honor Felisa Rincón de Gautier (1897 –1994) who was the first woman to be elected as the Mayor of a capital city in the Americas. A noted women's rights activist and an active participant in the suffragist movement, Rincón was mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico for 22 years (from 1946 to 1968).

Through the award ceremony and the giving of this annual award -- to three prestigious women each year -- it is PRAA’s goal to heighten and exemplify Ms. Rincon de Gautier's impeccable service and commitment to her community, women, and her country. This award aims to recognize women for their distinguished community service.

THANK YOU NBC5/Telemundo & BMO Harris Bank for sponsoring this event. Special thanks to our organization partner La Fundacion de Felisa Rincon de Gautier.
