The New York State Senate Women of Distinction program is an annual award established in 1998 to honor local women who have made significant contributions to their communities through leadership, volunteerism, and service. Each state senator selects one exemplary woman from their district. Councillor Tina Abrams is the first Indigenous woman to be selected as a New York State Senate Woman of Distinction, a historic first for the program.
