COLORADO WOMEN'S HALL OF FAME

The Hall shares the stories of the women who shaped our state and the nation's history with courage, leadership, intelligence, compassion, and creativity. Their talents, skills, struggles, and contributions form a legacy that the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame is dedicated to protecting. Women of diverse backgrounds, from pioneers to politicians, educators to entrepreneurs, are inducted into the Hall of Fame during a gala event held in every even-numbered year. The women inducted into the Hall of Fame have made a major impact on the lives of others and helped to elevate the status of women in our state, our nation, and, some, around the world. Who We Are The daily operations of the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame are carried out by an all-volunteer Board of Directors. The organizational structure also includes an Honorary Board comprising notable citizens from across the state who support the mission and goals of the Hall. A Volunteer Cadre helps with the many projects, programs, and events planned by the Board of Directors. All share the same goal of educating society about the contributions of Colorado's remarkable women and ensuring their legacy for future generations. Inducting New Members into the Hall of Fame The Colorado Women's Hall of Fame depends on members of the public to nominate extraordinary women for induction. Nominations are accepted from organizations or individuals throughout the state. A diverse group of Colorado citizens is recruited to act as a Selection Committee. The Selection Committee reviews all nominations, performs additional research if necessary, and selects nominees for induction into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame. In even-numbered years, up to 20 new inductees are admitted into the Hall of Fame at an event attended and sponsored by people and organizations from across Colorado.
