Four local women received Trailblazer Awards from the City of Oneonta’s Commission on Community Relations and Human Rights on March 27 at the Foothills Performing Arts and Civic Center.

Edyn Aiyemo, Dr. Carolyn Wolf-Gould, Tina Winstead and Michelle Eastman were named and honored as the recipients of the city’s Trailblazer Award for 2025. Ryan Selzner, chair of the commission, coordinated the event attended by nearly 100 people. She introduced Mayor Mark Drnek, who served as master of ceremonies.

“This evening, I am proud to acknowledge four more outstanding women—trailblazers each—to join the ranks of those previously honored by the commission,” Drnek said. He read a detailed proclamation personalized to each award winner.
