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

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.”
