We are pleased to announce that Peg Collins, President of the Brighton Allston Historical Society (BAHS) – an affiliate of our UNESCO/UNITWIN Network – has been named a 2013 Unsung Heroine by the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women! The Unsung Heroine awards pay tribute to extraordinary women from across the Commonwealth and thank them for their public leadership and volunteerism. The recipients of these awards are commended by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for making our communities ever better places to live. Senator Will Brownsberger nominated Peg as a woman making a meaningful impact in her district. Peg is also an active contributor to BAHS's Women's History Initiatives.
Congratulations Peg from the UNESCO/UNITWIN Network!
