Women are excluded from recognition on a massive scale; In spite of blatant prejudice, the fact remains that disproportionately to the paltry recognition, these creative women have exerted major influence in music globally far exceeding their numbers.
Mission: To honor women whose work represents and maintains the heritage and legacy of a range of the most adored songs from the world's popular music songbook. Women Songwriters Hall of Fame will not only celebrate these established women songwriters, but also serves as a resource for developing new songwriting talent through workshops, showcases and scholarships. There are many programs designed to teach and discover new songwriters. Founded by Dr. Janice McLean DeLoatch, author, radio/tv personality and songwriter.
The Women Songwriters HOF supports up-and-coming songwriters, having forged important partnerships and hopes of partnering with the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, The Smithsonian Institute and other music institutions. The Women Songwriters HOF conducts songwriting workshops and apprenticeships for young aspiring professional women and affiliated programs in the visual and recording arts.
The Women Songwriters HOF lastly will moving forward induct songwriters voted on by the membership at an Awards Gala that will be recognized by the music industry and the media as one of the most important music events of the year in time.
