The Evergreen Award given out annually by the Marquette Zonta Club, goes to an extraordinary woman in the local community, someone who has and is making a difference for a wide variety of people, but especially young people. That’s a perfect description of this year’s recipient, Pamela Christensen.

“Pam was selected based on her many contributions to the Marquette community. She assisted and mentored women and girls in reaching their leadership potential. She demonstrated excellence, creativity, and initiative in their business, profession, and or volunteerism,” said the Marquette Harbor Rotary in a public release. “She provided exceptional service by devoting time and energy to improve the quality of life for others in the community.

Award recipients must meet each of three specific criteria: assist and/or mentor women and girls in reaching their leadership potential; demonstrate excellence, creativity and initiative in their business, profession and/or volunteerism; and provide exceptional service by devoting time and energy to improve the quality of life for others in the community.

Christensen, who is a member of the Marquette Harbor Rotary Club, excels in each of them.

“Pam stands as part of a long line of extraordinary women in our community,” said the Marquette Harbor Rotary. “Congratulations from our club to you, Pam, on your well deserved recognition! We are so proud of you and so happy to see you receive this award ….”

Congratulations to Pamela Christensen on winning this prestigious award. The Zonta Club got it right – again.
