The Maine Women's Hall of Fame was established in 1990 by the Maine Federation of Business and Professional Women. The Hall of Fame is dedicated to women who have met these specific criteria: the woman's achievements have a significant statewide impact, the woman's achievements significantly improved the lives of women in Maine, and the woman's contribution has enduring value for women.
Nominations <Click Here for the online nomination form (PDF format, see below if you need Adobe Acrobat Reader.)> are submitted by a variety of organizations, businesses, or individuals. An independent panel of judges reviews the nominations with careful consideration to select one or two honorees to be inducted each year.
Each year's ceremony has been held at the University of Maine at Augusta during the month of March, in observance of Women's History Month. Since the Maine Women's Hall of Fame was established, the University of Maine at Augusta has generously provided the site for the display of photographs and citations for each honoree in the Bennett D. Katz Library.
