We are excited to announce that Paula De Young has been named the Central Valley’s recipient for 2022 Remarkable Woman of the Year, and will be advancing as a finalist for the National “Nexstar Woman of the Year” Award! This national campaign by Nexstar honors the influence and contributions women have made on public policy, social progress and quality of life in communities throughout the nation.

This year’s four “Remarkable Women” Central Valley finalists were: Jami Hamel De La Cerda, Lori Wilson, Paula De Young, and Sol Rivas.

“Nexstar’s ‘Woman of the Year’ initiative brings together our local communities and takes the recognition of women and their contributions in the workplace, the community, and in the lives of others to a larger, national stage, demonstrating our ability to provide the concept, scale and platform to highlight the untold stories of exceptional women across the country,” said Andrew Alford, president of the broadcasting division of Nexstar Media Inc. “Giving back to the community is one of Nexstar’s core values and we are honored and humbled to bring the stories of remarkable women everywhere to life, and we are looking forward to naming the ‘Nexstar Woman of the Year’ next month.”

The Nexstar’s nationwide search of the 2022 “Nexstar Woman of the Year” Award, will air on KTLA during the Remarkable Women special mid-April.

Congratulations Paula, you are an inspiration to our community!
