Lt. Gov. nominated for award

Lt. Gov. Lorraine Hunt has been nominated for a 2000 Excellence in Leadership Award.

U.S. Rep. Jim Gibbons, R-Nev., nominated Hunt to the Women Executives in State Government, which makes the awards each year.

The awards program, now in its eighth year, was known as the Breaking the Glass Ceiling award. The organization will honor four individuals for their leadership and achievements in assisting women to advance to the highest levels of public and private sectors.
