Hall of Fame

Development

At the spring 1988 meeting of the New Agenda- Northeast Committee, it was voted to establish the Women’s Hall of Fame.  A call for nominations was sent out and six women, selected from the nominations received, were inducted as Charter Members at the 1988 Conference, held at Smith College in November, 1988.

Each year since then, members of the Women’s Hall of Fame have nominated new members.  Representatives of the Hall of Fame also serve on the Selection Committee.  Since its inception, over 400 women have been honored.  Their professional responsibilities include teaching, coaching, officiating, advocating, and mentoring in both public and private schools, at the college level, and in community recreation and sport programs. 

Criteria For Hall of Fame

The nominee must have made a significant contribution to the advancement of girls and women in sport within the six New England states through coaching, officiating, mentoring, or advocating.  Nominees must have at least 15 years of experience in the New England States.  Personal athletic achievements are not applicable.
