Celebrating Women Making a Difference

The Alameda County Women's Hall of Fame recognizes outstanding women for their achievements and contributions to Alameda County and its residents. This award is in recognition of a legacy of work - both in professional careers and/or volunteer service - that has made a positive impact in the lives of residents in Alameda County.

Through this event and other community activities, the Alameda County Women's Hall of Fame generates funds to support organizations that help and support women and families in Alameda County, as well as inspiring youth.
