Women of Achievement Nomination Selections

Read the stories of incredible women making a difference in Memphis and Shelby County. Help us select finalists to be awarded and celebrated at an awards ceremony in March, during Women's History Month.

Join us on March 29 for our 40th awards ceremony highlighting the contributions of women who improve our community and the advancement of women.

Seven awards are given each year to women in our community who have shown courage, determination, heroism, initiative, steadfastness and vision. We honor a woman of generations past whose accomplishments still enrich our lives today, with the heritage award. Awards are given without requirements on education or income and are not limited to professional categories.

The stories of 292 individual women and three groups – the suffragists, martyrs of the yellow fever, and the women who saved Overton Park – have been honored and documented on the Women of Achievement website.

*WA membership - To participate in WA selections requires membership fee on a sliding scale of $15 to $30 to be paid at the meeting on Jan. 31. Members also produce and host the annual awards event and booksigning and are listed in the program.
