Bethesda Magazine is seeking nominations for its fourth annual slate of “Women Who Inspire.” The magazine is looking for women who are helping to shape and lead local communities, institutions, businesses and more. 

For the past three years, Bethesda Magazine has featured an annual salute to “Women Who Inspire.” Local luminaries such as Universities at Shady Grove Executive Director Anne Khademian, Capital Area Food Bank President and CEO Radha Muthiah, I.M.P. Chief Operating Officer Donna Westmoreland, World Trade Organization Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and farmer/YouTuber Tope Fajingbesi have offered a window into the impressive array of fields, skills and contributions represented by women in the area.    

This year, Bethesda Magazine wants to highlight even more of the women making a mark on readers’ lives—and needs your help to identify them. We are particularly interested in those who have racked up notable achievements within the past year or have projects on the horizon. Bethesda Magazine staff will review nominations and make selections. 

The deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. Friday, April 12, 2024. 

Honorees will be notified to be interviewed, photographed and potentially videotaped. “Women Who Inspire” will be presented in the print edition of Bethesda Magazine and on moco360.media later this year. We will also celebrate the “Women Who Inspire” at our annual luncheon this fall. 

If MoCo360 keeps you informed, connected and inspired, circle up and join our community by becoming a member today. Your membership supports our community journalism and unlocks special benefits.
