This curriculum will be made available to educators and institutions across the state to help our communities understand the impact and contributions women have made over many decades here in Colorado.
These efforts require great commitment and your support, as an independent 501(c)(3), non-profit organization, the volunteer driven CWHF Board of Directors is committed the sharing the stories of our Colorado Women's Hall of Fame inductees with the community through the Education initiative, Inductee Portraits and our Great Colorado Women Film Series and other events throughout the year.
