President’s Message

March 27, 2010

Greetings!

It is a pleasure to share this occasion with you as we honor and induct the 2010 class into the San Antonio Women’s Hall of Fame. We announce and induct these outstanding women into the Hall of Fame during Women’s History Month each year. The 2010 theme of the National Women’s History Project is, “Writing Women Back Into History”. To date, there have been over three hundred women inducted into the Hall of Fame and many have seen their research, inventions, community contributions, and products become part of the history of our San Antonio!

As we celebrate the achievements of women today, we pause to reflect upon an illustrious past that began in 1984. With a vision that ignited the passion of Dr. Gloria Jo Floyd, founder of the San Antonio Women’s Hall of Fame, she met and shared her ideas with other women. Upon the inception of the San Antonio Women’s Hall of Fame, an initial group of women, i.e., our Founding Members, were invited to become an integral part of the organization through induction. Over the course of a quarter of a century, these 300-plus women have continued to achieve to the highest levels and give our city the quality of life that we all enjoy!

Today, we are excited to celebrate the induction of twelve outstanding women in our community who have distinguished themselves through their extraordinary service in varied fields! We hope you will be inspired today by these truly remarkable women who make a critical difference to the ongoing progress and well being of our community on a daily basis. They, indeed, are exemplary role models! We salute our 2010 inductees!

Sincerely, Dr. Yvonne Katz

She has founded many entities that provide avenues for low socioeconomic, pregnant girls, homeless families, or troubled young men to learn new knowledge and skills to promote a more positive outlook on life. She created an emergency shelter for runaway and homeless girls, ages 8-18. Countless young adults and refugees have earned their high school diplomas or GEDs in order to move into the workforce, or into college/technical schools, to bring a better quality of life to our city. She developed the College Extravaganza program to solicit college students to mentor high school students. In her greater community work, Barbara has developed a 54 unit low income elderly apartment complex that serves as a HUD model. She has also assisted nine families in purchasing homes.
