Dear Friends,
Thank you for joining us on September 24 for the National Women’s Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
Your presence and support helped make the evening a memorable celebration of our newest Inductees
and their remarkable achievements.
The Class of 2026 represents women who have changed — and continue to change — our world. Their
courage, creativity, innovation, and leadership have shaped our nation’s history and opened doors for
generations to come. Honoring them at the George Eastman Museum, surrounded by so many people
who share our commitment to recognizing women’s achievements, made the evening especially
meaningful.
Throughout the evening, the conversations, connections, and stories reminded us why the mission of the
National Women’s Hall of Fame matters. The accomplishments of our Inductees inspire us, and their
stories deserve to be remembered, shared, and passed on.
We are profoundly grateful to our sponsors, donors, supporters, and everyone who joined us for this
memorable occasion. Your generosity and commitment make it possible for the Hall to preserve and
share the stories of extraordinary American women and to ensure that their achievements are known to
generations to come.
Thank you for being with us and for helping us honor women whose achievements have changed our
nation and our world.
If the evening inspired you to want to engage more fully with the Hall, please feel free to reach out to
me or to Elizabeth Raymond (eraymond@womenofthehalll.org), our director of development, who
would be more than happy to continue our conversation.
Warmly,
Jean Kilbourne
President, National Women’s Hall of Fame
2015 Inductee
