DENVER, CO, UNITED STATES, October 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame (CWHF) is proud to announce the official call for nominations for its 2027 Class of Inductees. In alignment with Colorado’s upcoming “Colorado 150” sesquicentennial celebrations the Hall is expanding its efforts to highlight extraordinary women from across all eight regions of the state, ensuring that the 2027 class represents the breadth and diversity of Colorado’s history, talent and leadership.

Reaffirming its mission to honor the past, inspire the present and shape a future where women’s achievements are recognized, honored and remembered, the Hall exists to inspire by celebrating and sharing the stories of women who have made significant, enduring contributions. Inductees have excelled in areas such as business, education, science, public service, the arts, sports and community leadership. Their vision, courage and perseverance have advanced opportunities for others on a local, state, national or international level.

A STATEWIDE SPOTLIGHT DURING A HISTORIC YEAR
As Colorado prepares to celebrate its 150th year of statehood and the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026, the Hall recognizes the importance of telling a complete and inclusive story of Colorado’s greatness. This includes honoring women whose legacies are rooted in every corner of the state – from the Eastern Plains to the San Luis Valley, and from the Western Slope to the urban Front Range.

“Colorado’s sesquicentennial is a special, once-in-a-generation opportunity to recognize women who have shaped our state’s history and continue to inspire our future,” said Barb Beckner, Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame Board Chair. “Through this nomination process, we are intentionally looking across all eight regions of Colorado to ensure the stories of women everywhere are lifted up and remembered.”

The Class of 2027 will be announced in the summer of 2026 as part of statewide commemorations, and honored at the Class of 2027 Induction Gala in March of 2027.
