The Hot Mommas Project is an award-winning leadership project raising self-efficacy of women and girls through exposure to role models.  Last year,  we launched a competition in which women logged on, told their story,  and – using our “case study wizard” – channeled those stories into teachable role models for women and girls.  Everyday-extraordinary women – 107  to be exact – spoke from the power of their experience.  They spoke to our daughters.  They spoke to each other.  They spoke to you and me.  They were heard. The winners of our 2008-2009 competition were published in a Prentice Hall textbook, PINK Magazine, and other media outlets.

The Hot Mommas Project is now the largest collection of teachable role models in the world.  Personal, professional, childhood inspiration, successes, challenges.

If you are reading this post, and you have been nominated for our 2009-2010 competition, please see the nomination notice below.  If you would like to nominate someone – yourself included – please email us.

NOMINATION NOTICE

Congratulations on your nomination as a role model for girls and women. Thank you, in advance, for your interest in the Hot Mommas Project. This is your official nomination notice. As a Nominee you are authorized to go to  www.HotMommasProject.org and write a case study about your personal and professional experiences. Please find more on the project, below. Here is what to do if you are interested in becoming part of the project and impacting women’s education:

  1. Log on at www.HotMommasProject.org so you receive alerts and key dates.
  2. Write your 500-1500 word case study using our case study wizard.  We project 1.5 hour to 3 hours depending on your writing speed.
  3. Click “publish.”  You’ll become part of our free online library available to women, girls, and educators. (The earlier you click “publish,” the more prize drawings you’ll be entered into. Last year we gave away an iPod shuffle, Beijo bags, and more.)

The cases should be appropriate for a classroom environment.  To maintain the integrity of this educational tool, cases must not be promotional pieces for your company or preachy political/ moral views. The cases should represent your personal lessons, motivations, successes, and challenges thought about in terms of “textbook chapters.” At the end of the case wizard, you can check a box if you are interested in speaking or mentoring.

Congratulations, again. The team and I are here for any of your questions or additional information needs. You will find a variety of case writer resources on the “case competition” section of www.HotMommasProject.org.

Sincerely,

Kathy
