Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller yesterday was inducted into the Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame at a ceremony held at Government House. The other honorees included U.S.House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones, Secretary of State Susan Lee, and Comptroller Brooke Lierman.
“I am grateful to stand among the remarkable women whose legacies inspire us to see more, do more, and be more,” said Lt. Gov. Miller. “Every day, I work to uplift the people of Maryland and create a strong foundation for a future that our next generation of leaders can be proud of. “
Gov. Moore recognized Lt. Governor Miller’s invaluable contributions to the state calling the honorees an inspiration. “Our administration, this state, and our country would be incomplete without their hard work and impact.”
“Lt. Governor Miller is a force within this administration and a leader for all young women throughout Maryland,” said First Lady Moore. “Congratulations to all the inductees, as their careers have opened the door to other women who aspire to lead.”
Established in 1985, the Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame in partnership with the Maryland Commission for Women and the Women Legislators of Maryland memorializes and honors Maryland women whose lives and work are of historic significance to the health, economic, political, and cultural history of the state.
Along with the Hall of Fame inductees, five students were honored with The Maryland Young Women Leaders Award. Established in 1997, the award recognizes extraordinary young women who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, academic achievement, and outstanding community service.
