Inspired to Inspire is an essay program that highlights women who live in Baltimore City and are an inspiration and role model to others. 

The contributions women have made to society have had – and continue to have – a strong impact on our world. In honor of Women’s History Month, Inspired to Inspire will applaud and recognize inspirational women in Baltimore City – past, present and future – with the programming under the banner of Champions & Visionaries.

The city-wide program is seeking written essays about the woman, or women, who have inspired individuals. We have asked that the essays be between 250 and 750 words with a deadline submission date of Monday, February 22, 2016. The announcement date for the winners is currently scheduled for the first week of March.

Nominees must be at least 18 years old, live in Baltimore City, and have been an inspiration or role model to the writer of the essay. Nominees cannot be an employee of Baltimore City.

I am extremely excited to hear about the extraordinary women that are inspiring the citizens of Baltimore City. If you would like to submit an essay, please download the document attached to this entry.
