Part of our duty as a commission is to identify and recognize contributions made by Indiana women to their community, state, and nation. Every year we hold the Torchbearer Awards as a salute to Indiana women. Nominations are held and reviewed by a judge's panel. Awards are given to outstanding women in a variety of fields ranging from Science and Law to Labor Advocacy and Education. We also award a prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.
