FRIDAY, September 18, 2026

ALEXANDRIA, VA – The National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) is proud to announce South Carolina State Senator Katrina Shealy (R - Lexington) as a 2015 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 award was presented to the 2015 Women of Excellence Winners at the Celebration of Excellent Women ceremony at the Petroleum Club on Monday, September 14th, during the 2015 Annual Conference.

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

“We celebrate the resilient leadership qualities, focused work ethic, and determination these women have and look forward to sharing their future successes,” said the Chair of the NFWL at the presentation.
