<br />and with promoting the full participation of Indiana women in all aspects of society”; and
<br />
<br />Whereas, ICW “…created the concept of the Torchbearer Awards to honor the many
<br />Hoosier women who have overcome or removed barriers to equality or to whose achievements
<br />have contributed to making our state a better place in which to live, work & raise a family”; and
<br />
<br /> Whereas, the statue, Victory, which stands atop the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument in
<br />downtown Indianapolis was the image selected to represent the Torchbearer Award; with “…
<br />Victory being symbolic of the women honored, and the flame she holds represents the light our
<br />Torchbearers have brought to our state and their communities”; and
<br />
<br />Whereas, on March 6, 2013, in the Indiana Government Center North Building’s
<br />Auditorium in Indianapolis, Indiana, the 2013 Torchbearer Awards Program was held; and
