The Commission for Women (CFW) will be accepting nominations for inclusion into the Miami-Dade County Women’s Hall of Fame until Jan. 31.
The Miami-Dade County County Commission established the Miami-Dade County Women’s Hall of Fame in 2021 to celebrate the lives and preserve the legacies of important women whose contributions to the citizenry of Miami-Dade County should not be forgotten.
Nominations should include general information and a description of the nominee’s work and qualifications, including the nominee’s significant and enduring community contributions. Nominees may be living, or deceased, and self-nominations will be accepted.
During the month of February, the CFW will review nominations and submit up to 10 recommendations to the chair of the county commission by Mar. 1. Those selected for membership to the Miami-Dade County Women’s Hall of Fame will be honored at an induction ceremony to take place at a regularly scheduled commission meeting in April.
The Miami-Dade County Commission for Women was created in 1971 as an advisory board to the county commissioners, county administration, and public at large about issues pertaining to the status of women. The Commission for Women also advocates for women in the community and strives to improve their quality of life.
For more information, contact Miami-Dade County Commission for Women director Nina Roque at 305-250-8444 or nina.roque@miamidade.gov.
