Members of Women in Public Life gathered outside Marie Randall House to celebrate the naming of the newly refurbished States building in Upland Road.
Marie Randall became Guernsey’s first female Deputy when she was elected in January 1924.
For 24 years, she was the only woman in the States.
Women in Public Life, which advocates for local women to stand for public office, is always keen to share the legacy of Deputy Randall.
Around 30 members gathered yesterday (1 August) to celebrate the naming.
It's Chair Shelaine Green hopes it will inspire more women to stand in Guernsey's 2025 election.
"It’s surprising that a States building in Guernsey has never before been named after one of the local notable women who have contributed so much to life in the island.
We deliberately held our annual members meeting at Elizabeth College this year so that we could end the evening by raising a glass to the trailblazing Marie Randall.
What better way to inspire those thinking of standing for election in June 2025."
A Blue Plaque was unveiled at Deputy Randall's old St Julian home earlier this year, to mark the centenary of her election.
