Nora Award Winners were announced live on Saturday, April 26, at the Worldwide Comadrazo and 25th Anniversary Celebration in Austin, TX.
The Nora Awards, named in honor of our National / International Founder Dr. Nora de Hoyos Comstock, recognize Comadres who exemplify the virtues of Loyalty, Generosity, Community, Sisterhood and Kindness. The Finalists were nominated by their fellow Comadres.
The 2025 Comadre of the Year award goes to Comadre TERRY SAUCEDO from Rancho Cucamonga, CA / the Inland Empire Comadres Network.
The 2025 Comadre Community Service award goes to Comadre SHEILA PEREZ-KINDLE from Denver, CO / Denver Comadres Network.
A newly minted Compadre Extraordinaire Nora Award was presented to JACK BELL, Nora’s husband for his endless support of Las Comadres Para Las Americas for the past 25-plus-years. In his honor, Las Comadres has renamed the Friend of Las Comadres award to the “Jack Bell Friend of Las Comadres” Nora Award.
The first “Jack Bell Friend of Las Comadres” Nora Award was presented to the Austin Community College, an organization that continually supports Las Comadres Para Las Americas and the Latine community at large. This winner was chosen by the Board of Directors. Accepting the Nora Award was Dr. Susan Warner-Sanchez.
