Guidelines for the Chickasaw Nation
Dynamic Woman of the Year Nominations
The Chickasaw Nation Dynamic Woman of the Year Award was established in October 2006 to
honor Chickasaw women who have made significant contributions to the Chickasaw Nation and its
citizens. These women serve as role models to other Chickasaw women, make a difference in the
lives of Chickasaws and other citizens, and enrich their communities and society at large.
As leaders in education, health care, arts, cultural advocacy, legal professions, policies, social
services and community development, Chickasaw women have dared to forge new roads that
continue to serve as a force of empowerment for girls, women and men of all ages.
Chickasaw women chosen for this honor have inspired, given hope and opened new possibilities
and opportunities for others. They have made contributions to improving and enhancing the lives of
those around them, accomplished professional goals, enriched their communities and preserved the
cultural heritage of the Chickasaw Nation and its people.
