Young women are selected for presentation by more than 200 nominators statewide, and approval of the nominations is made by club members. The women are selected based on the contributions their families have made to the economic, cultural, social and civic life of the state.

During the ball weekend, eight functions were held to honor the debutantes and their families and their escorts.

Thomas Grantham Fisher Jr. chaired this year’s ball.
