The Delaware’s Office of Women’s Advancement & Advocacy, a division of the Department of Human Resources, is now accepting nominations for the 38th Hall of Fame of Delaware Women.

“Delaware women contribute significantly to our communities, our workforce, and our culture across the state,” said Carney. “We look forward to receiving a diverse group of nominees who have made lasting impacts, and recognizing their achievements through this annual honor.”

An awards reception to honor the inductees will place on September 27 at Dover Downs.

“Delaware women do not neatly fit into one box; we represent all ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds, and I am excited to seek a pool of nominees that reflects the unique and vast diversity of women in the First State,” said Melanie Ross Levin, director of the Office of Women’s Advancement & Advocacy.

Nominees must have made a lasting impact and been born in Delaware or resided in the state for at least 10 years.

“While the current members of the Hall of Fame of Delaware Women are all hardworking and inspiring women, I can’t help but wonder how many other impressive Delaware women there are who also deserve recognition for their contributions to our state,” said Kay Keenan, chair of the 2018 Hall of Fame Committee. “I’m grateful for this opportunity to cast a wide net in our search for additional remarkable Delaware women, and shine a light on the many ways women have added to the legacy of the First State.”
