The 35th annual Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame dinner and ceremony will be held on Thursday, October 18, 2018 at Kellogg Center and Hotel, East Lansing, Mich.
The contemporary women inductees include Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, the Flint Water Crisis whistleblower, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy and Chemist Dr. Angela K. Wilson. In the historical category, the Hall of Fame is recognizing Agatha Biddle who negotiated the 1855 Treaty of Detroit and Clara Stanton Jones, the first woman and first African American to serve as director of a major city public library. The women join 318 other Hall of Fame winners.
““We are particularly proud of the 2018 class of inductees, our first since Michigan Women Forward took over the Hall of Fame in March of this year. We believe the women entrepreneurs and young women leaders we serve can learn from and be inspired by the women who have been recognized as Michigan’s most accomplished. We invite all Michiganders to learn about them at HERstory, our historical center, in the Meridian Mall in Okemos, said CEO Carolyn Cassin.
On March 1, MWF: Michigan Women Forward merged the Michigan Women’s Historical Center and Hall of Fame into its operations. Recently, MWF also acquired the Entrepreneurial Institute of Mid-Michigan.
Established in 1983, the Women’s Hall of Fame is located at Meridian Mall in Lansing. For a complete list of inductees since its founding in 1983, visithttp://www.michiganwomen.org [michiganwomenshalloffame.org].
