If you know a local woman who has made a significant contribution to Florida, you might want to nominate her to the Florida Women’s Hall of Fame.

The deadline to nominate is March the 29th.

The Hall of Fame was created in 1982, there are currently 91 women recognized in the Hall.

The Hall of Fame includes women from all walks of life including writers, politicians, doctors and teachers.

Some of the notable inductees include former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, singer Gloria Estefan, internationally-honored tennis athletes Chris Evert and Althea Gibson and Everglades advocate and suffragist Marjory Stoneman Douglas.

If you would like to nominate someone who perhaps has played a significant role in the seafood industry, or has had some other impact on local life, you can nominate them on-line at  FlWomensHallofFame.org/Nominate .

Nominations from around the state will be considered by The Florida Commission on the Status of Women who will recommend 10 nominees to Governor Ron DeSantis.

The Governor will select up to three women for induction into the Hall of Fame next October.
