Four women have been honored for their commitment to their communities at the County of Riverside Commission for Women's second annual Woman of the Year awards ceremony.

"We did a press release throughout Riverside County asking if anyone would like to nominate a special woman in their community," said Lori Stone, chairperson at the Commission for Women.

Nominees were then graded according to a set of guidelines that included community outreach, volunteerism and things the candidates did above and beyond their area of expertise.

The winners included Jody White-Judkins in District 2, which includes the Corona, Norco and Jurupa areas; Raquel Marquez in District 3, which includes the Temecula Valley; Joan Busick in District 4, which includes the Desert area; and Maria Rice-Davis in District 5, which includes the Moreno Valley area.

There were no nominations in District 1, which includes the Riverside area.
