2026 Women of Impact – Nomination Form

About the Award

Women of Impact connect, encourage, engage, and enable positive change by inspiring actions that move our community forward. In Estes Park, these women lead not only through formal roles or visible projects, but also through the way they live their lives—with passion, purpose, resilience, and a willingness to embrace change and innovation for the future.

This award honors women whose influence strengthens our community, uplifts others, and helps shape a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable future.
In 2026, we will recognize all of our nominees at our Women of Impact event on March 3rd at The Barrel. The event immediately follows our 2nd Annual Ready Set Grow conference being held at the Expedition Lodge. New this year is the addition of recognizing one woman as the 2026 Woman of Impact.
