Message from the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame Chair
This is an exciting time for Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame. Our Inductees attending the recent Inductee Appreciation Tea inspired the Board through the updates on their continued efforts to make our state, our country, and the world better. This year’s PBS films reached over 50,000 viewers. Please see our good news about qualifying for more Heartland Emmy awards below. We are using our Inductees' stories to inspire over 190 Girl Scouts in Colorado and beyond through our partnership with Girl Scouts of Colorado.

We are looking forward to our upcoming STEM Celebration on October 3rd. We are focused on getting nominations in by August 1, 2019 so that we will be able to induct ten new amazing women on March 18, 2020. It is our privilege to expand the legacies of our 162 Inductees with these efforts.

Thank you for your continued support of our events, portrait exhibits, speaker’s bureaus and partnerships.
