The Georgia Women of Achievement (GWA) recognizes women natives or residents of the U.S. state of Georgia for their significant achievements or statewide contributions. The concept was first proposed by Rosalynn Carter in 1988. The first induction was in 1992 at Wesleyan College, and has continued annually. The induction ceremonies are held each year during March, designated as Women's History Month. The organization consists of a Board of Trustees and a Board of Selections.{{cite web|title=About Georgia Women of Achievement|url=http://www.georgiawomen.org/about/|publisher=Georgia Women of Achievement|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130208065334/http://www.georgiawomen.org/about/|archive-date=2013-02-08}} Nominees must have been dead no less than ten years. Georgians, or those associated with Georgia, are selected based on the individual's impact on society. Nominations are proposed through documentation and an online nomination form, and must be submitted prior to October of any given year. GWA has traveling exhibits and speakers available upon request.{{cite web|title=Georgia Women of Achievement|url=http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-3022|publisher=New Georgia Encyclopedia|access-date=August 10, 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120925003856/http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-3022|archive-date=September 25, 2012}}
