The AWHT Executive Committee members have begun planning the annual meeting and symposium of the AWHT Boards and guests. This combined working and educational forum will be scheduled for early to mid-May 2008. It is anticipated that the program will consist of a combined meeting of the boards with one hour separate sessions during the morning and then a luncheon and early afternoon general program. Further details following the 2007 holiday season.

The website www.womensheritagetrail.org was officially launched on November 14, 2007. The AWHT Executive Committee expresses appreciation and thanks to Shona Patel, graphic artist and Erika Diehl, website designer, for the overall AWHT image, the user-friendly and functional site dedicated to the dissemination of women's history, and for donating much of their professional services to the development of this public informational tool. They will continue to work with AWHT as the women/sites designations increase and other informational materials are added to the site.

Nomination forms for women/sites inclusion on the AWHT are displayed in the "Search the Trail" Section. Please review the criteria before completing nominations. The forms may be printed and submitted to the Director or Historian by mail. We anticipate approximately 150 or so women/sites by the opening ceremony which is tentatively scheduled for the fall of 2010 or Spring 2011. The AWHT will always represent an ever growing process of discovery and dissemination of new women/sites throughout the years. It will never be "completed," with new information and designations increasing the data on public informational materials and website periodically. It is fitting that AWHT was one of the first organizations to be designated a Legacy Project by the 2012 Arizona Centennial Commission.

Questions should be sent to Joan Meacham, AWHT, at womensheritagetr@aol.com or by calling 480-471-7792.
