About the Program.
The Women of Accomplishment Program and Awards Breakfast began in 1997. This was modeled after the Concerned Black Women's Round-table Breakfasts held in the early 1990s.
The goals of the new awards were to celebrate women who had given of their time, talents and treasures unselfishly; to acknowledge the important mentoring roles of women who swerved; to recognize those who we considered "unsung" heroines; and to increase the self confidence of women.
The first breakfast was held in 1997. Since that year, more than 80 women have been honored from the nearly 400 nominations submitted. These nominations come from women all over Muskegon County.
In 2009, the GMWC opened the Muskegon County Women of Achievement Hall of Fame in our Tea Room. This even coincided with the 30th anniversary of Women's History Month created by a bill signed by President Jimmy Carter to recognize and celebrate the historic accomplishments of women. Now all of the names of the Women of Accomplishment honorees, as well as their contributions to the community, will be remembered and displayed permanently.
