The Maine Women’s Hall of Fame seeks nominations from organizations, businesses, or individuals of women whose achievements have had a significant statewide impact, significantly improved the lives of women in Maine, and made a contribution that has an enduring value for women.

Complete nomination details, criteria, and requirements are available online at mwhof.wufoo.com. The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, Dec. 1. An independent panel of judges reviews the nominations to select one or two honorees for induction each year.

Most recent recipients have included Darylen McQuirk Cote, Gov. Janet Mills, Joanne D’Arcangelo, Betty-Jane Stanhope Meader, Joyce Taylor Gibson and Dean Leigh Saufley. For a complete list of honorees, visit Maine Women’s Hall of Fame at uma.edu.

The Maine Women’s Hall of Fame was established in 1990 by the BPW/Maine Futurama Foundation. The induction ceremony is usually held at the University of Maine at Augusta on the third Saturday of March, in observance of Women’s History Month. UMA maintains a permanent Maine Women’s Hall of Fame display of photographs and citations for all honorees in the Bennett D. Katz Library.
