Marin Women's Hall of Fame

Can you imagine a world without heroines or heroes?
What if significant accomplishments and breakthroughs were ignored, overlooked, unimportant? 

What if being mediocre and below average were celebrated and no one cared about positive role models? 

Can you imagine what the world would be like?

We can't.

That is why we are known as THE CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE in Marin County! 

"Leading Women...Looking Forward"

The Marin Women's Hall of Fame is focused on LEADERS and LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT and is writing the next best chapter in its HERstory of success!  The organization is dedicated to being an ongoing source of inspiration for all who value excellence.

MISSION:
To identify and honor Marin women and girl leaders whose extraordinary achievements exceed expectations, creating breakthroughs for society. 

To provide a legacy for future generations by documenting their accomplishments and recording the history of their lives. 

To mentor and empower women and girls to reach their full potential as resilient visonaries focused on education, innovation, the environment and positive results.

To provide programs and services that address the needs, issues and opportunities that pre-teens through elders consider important.

During Women's History Month - March, we host an awards ceremony and annual dinner to honor Marin County's most extraordinary women. 

The community nominates awards in the following categories:
Arts, Business & Professions, Community Service, Education, Environment, Public Affairs, Health, Science & Medicine, Religion & Spirituality, Sports & Recreation, Social Change, Technology. 

Our goal is to connect, collaborate and proactively explore the ever changing landscape of issues, interests and possibilities for progress, opportunity and leadership development.

The M.I.S.S.Program
(Mentoring + Internship + Service = Scholarship) was launched as a beta program in January 2009.  Marin Young Women's Hall of Fame (MYWHF) is scheduled to host its first award ceremony in May 2010.  The awards will be granted to graduating seniors in high school, technical school and college.  The criteria for nomination and selection will include: vast improvement, academic achievement and community service.

The purpose of this program is to ensure our community is always filled with achievers, leaders and influencers. 

If you know a student graduating in 2010 who might qualify for this first class of MYWHF Honorees - please send in your recommendation letter and a form will be mailed to you to complete for submission.  Parents may not nominate their own children for this award.

Our logo represents women as source, a wellspring of creation and energy, a loving force of nature and nurture, flowing  with life.  Through these women, their generosity and vitality, we thrive...
