MORENO VALLEY >> Moreno Valley Council Member LaDonna Jempson was honored as a Woman of Distinction on Saturday, March 19, by State Assemblymember Jose Medina at the annual award Distinction luncheon. Recipients of this award were lauded by Medina for making significant contributions to their respective communities and, specifically, for service as a role model for young women in the 61st Assembly District. "The recognition was an incredible honor and I was humbled to be in the same room with so many amazing women who offer their time and talents to better their communities. I offer my sincere congratulations to all of the other recipients," said Council Member Jempson. Some of Council Member Jempson's accomplishments were highlighted at the event as well as what she considers her personal mission, which is to serve others.
