Top Ten Remarkable Women of the Twin Tiers
(WETM)–Each year, Nexstar Media Group stations around the United States ask their viewing audiences and digital media consumers to nominate people they think are truly “Remarkable Women” in their area. WETM-TV is a member of the Nexstar family. Each market picks a market winner, and they are flown to Los Angeles, all expenses paid, for a day with all of the market winners around the country. Past winners have told us it’s a “mountain top” experience, and that they made friends and contacts they will keep.
We reached out to you and we got dozens of nominations. We appointed a panel of judges from inside our Elmira studios, and here are our top ten “Remarkable Women” for 2024.
These are in NO PARTICULAR ORDER of ranking, and we will announce our top four, and the market winner, in March.
