The Nevada Women's Hall of Fame is an American institution created in 2004 by June L. Beland in Las Vegas, Nevada. The mission of the Nevada Women’s Hall of Fame is "to honor women, whose contributions to the arts, athletics, business, education, government, the humanities, philanthropy, and science, have been the greatest value for the development of their state."

 

The Nevada Women's Hall of Fame inducts distinguished women through rigorous honors the selection process involving representatives of the Women’s Chamber of Commerce of Nevada through its Annual International ATHENA Awards through areas of expertise. Inductees are selected on the basis of the changes they created that affect the social, economic or cultural aspects of society; the significant local, state national or global impact and results of change due to their achievement; and the enduring value of their achievements or changes within their

communities.

​

The Nevada Women’s Hall of Fame is hosted by the Women’s Chamber of Commerce of Nevada © since 2005 when the organization held the first ATHENA International Awards. The Nevada Women’s Hall of Fame office is through the Women’s Chamber and its WCCNV Legacy Foundation raising money for “At-Risk” high school students for higher education.
