Nominations are open for the 2027 Women’s Hall of Fame, an annual recognition of local women “who have made significant contributions to Lebanon County through their profession and/or volunteerism while serving as role models.”
Nominations are due Oct. 31, according to the Lebanon County Commission for Women.
Inductees will be honored at the 17th Lebanon County Commission for Women’s Luncheon and Hall of Fame on Tuesday, March 16, 2027.
Since 2010, the commission’s Hall of Fame has recognized nearly 180 local women, including 11 who were honored at a luncheon earlier this year.
According to the nominating form, which is available online, women considered for the recognition must live and/or work in Lebanon County, have played an integral part in the implementation of projects that have benefited the Lebanon Valley, or have worked as “Hidden Heroes,” touching lives in a positive way.
Nominees may be living or dead, although previous inductees are not eligible. Past members of the Commission for Women may be nominated if at least two years have passed since they served.
Nominees should fall into one or more of 11 categories:
- Women Demonstrating Leadership: forging new paths in business or community while serving as a role model.
- Women Creating Community: contributing to the quality of life in the Lebanon Valley by supporting the social growth of the community.

The Women’s Hall of Fame was established by the commission in 2010 to preserve women’s history and honor the achievements of unsung heroes in the community.
