The Distinguished Woman Award is, perhaps, the most prestigious and rare honor to be given to an American Angus Auxiliary member. Recipients have proven to be long time champions of the organization. They have devoted time as officers, committee members, and many other roles all for the betterment of the Auxiliary. These women are a true inspiration.
