Virginia Hart was Wisconsin’s first woman to serve as a cabinet secretary.
Madison – Governor Scott Walker announced nominations are being sought for the 33rd annual Virginia Hart Special Recognition Award. The award is administered by the Department of Administration (DOA) Division of Personnel Management to honor women who are making a difference in Wisconsin state government.
“The award recognizes the service of women whose contributions to client, co-workers, or the public are substantial,” Governor Walker said. “In this way, we hope to encourage and recognize the achievements of all women in state government.”
