DETROIT (November 13, 2023) – Michigan Women Forward announces its 2023 Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame inductees. The five Michigan women will be inducted in a ceremony on Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2023, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Lansing 111 N. Grand Avenue.

The contemporary inductees include Governor Gretchen Whitmer, current governor of the state of Michigan; Hon. Denise Langford Morris, retired Oakland County Circuit Court Judge.

In the historical category, Michigan Women Forward will recognize Kelly Rossman McKinney, a trailblazer in public relations and political powerhouse; and The Traverse City Ladies Association, a dedicated group of women who designed, implemented, and managed the Traverse Township Library.

These women will join 344 other Hall of Fame inductees since its inception 40 years ago.

“Michigan Women Forward is proud to recognize women who have made significant contributions in their fields. They have set the bar for excellence and paved the way for those who will follow in their footsteps” said Carolyn Cassin, MWF President and Chief Executive Officer. “We hope the community will once again join us in celebrating these inductees’ significant accomplishments.”

The Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame was established in 1983 to celebrate and honor women’s contributions to Michigan’s history, and to inspire the women and girls of tomorrow.
