The Board of Directors of the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame
is soliciting nominations until August 15 for the 2008 induction.
The Alabama Women's Hall of Fame is housed in the Asa
Howard Bean Hall, previously Carnegie Library, at Judson College in Marion,
Alabama and has honored the accomplishments of Alabama women since the first
induction program in 1971. Outstanding women such as Helen Adams Keller,
Lurleen Burns Wallace, Julia Strudwick Tutwiler, Amelia Gayle Gorgas and
Tallulah Bankhead have been inducted. With the induction of Fran McKee and
Martha C. Myers in March 2007, seventy-five women have been honored by
membership in the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame.
The Board invites nominations of distinguished women of
Alabama who have influenced the lives of the fellow citizens and who have made
significant contributions through their personal or professional lives on a
state, national, or international level. Only those who have been deceased for
two years or longer may be considered. From those nominated by the general
public, the Board chooses two for installation each year.
Nomination forms may be downloaded from the
organization's web site at www.awhf.org. For more
