Ben Hensley<\/a><\/p>\nNexstar Media Group and its local television stations KSEE24\/CBS47 are asking Valley residents to help recognize local women who make an impact in their communities as the 2026 Remarkable Women program launches.<\/p>\n
Community members across Nexstar\u2019s stations are encouraged to nominate women whose achievements, service and leadership inspire others. From global nominations, 125 finalists will be selected, including one representing Fresno.<\/p>\n
Remarkable Women is one of the longer awards processes for Nexstar and KSEE24\/CBS47, according to Nexstar Sales Manager Emily Guzman-Simmons, who said that the media company begins preparations for the event in September.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a panel of five judges from the stations here locally,\u201d Guzman-Simmons said. \u201cWe will judge based off of their community contribution, self-achievement and then if they exhibit innovation, creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Former Valley honorees include Darlene Franco (2025), Nina Clancy (2024), Adrianne Hillman (2023) and Paula De Young (2022).<\/p>\n
Local honorees will be recognized in early March with an on-air presentation.<\/p>\n
Finalists will be honored later in March 2026 during a national celebration in Nashville, Tennessee. Honorees will receive round-trip airfare, hotel accommodations and ground transportation, as well as national and local media coverage. Finalists may also appear in a primetime special airing on The CW Network, NewsNation and Nexstar.<\/p>\n
All 125 honorees will receive a $1,000 donation for the 501c3 of their choice. Five regional finalists will receive an additional $5,000 and a $125,000 media package, with the national honoree receiving a $25,000 donation to her chosen nonprofit and a media package valued at $250,000.<\/p>\n
