Submit a Nomination for Bethesda Magazine’s 2025 Women Who Inspire
Know a remarkable woman doing incredible things?
Every year, Bethesda Magazine highlights women in the community through Women Who Inspire, profiles of local women doing incredible things. We are seeking nominations for our 2025 Women Who Inspire. We are particularly interested in learning about accomplished women with strong backgrounds who have racked up notable achievements within the past year or have projects on the horizon.
Bethesda Magazine staff will review nominations, conduct additional editorial research and make selections. Honorees will be notified and interviewed, photographed and potentially filmed. Women Who Inspire will be published in the September/October 2025 edition of Bethesda Magazine and then on BethesdaMagazine.com. We will also celebrate the Women Who Inspire at our annual fall luncheon (check back to purchase tickets). Read about the 2024 Women Who Inspire here.
