Recognizing Michigan\u2019s female trailblazers. Inspiring future leaders. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What does a female scientist or civil rights leader in the last century have in common with women of today? They were often overlooked and unrecognized for their contributions\u2014to their fields, their community and our country. That\u2019s why Michigan Women Forward is committed to celebrating the achievements of women across our state at our WomanUp & Celebrate<\/a> events and our annual Michigan Women\u2019s Hall of Fame induction celebration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These events are based on a simple philosophy: If you want to see more women succeed in business, politics, health and other fields of significance to our state, then you need to celebrate the ones who are blazing the way. It is through their example, that we learn and are inspired. It is through gathering together that we make connections that can help light the way. And it is through this recognition that amazing Michigan women can celebrate all they\u2019ve accomplished and how far they have come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
