In 2013, I was inducted into the San Marcos Women’s Hall of Fame for leadership and lifelong accomplishments; and received a Letter of Commendation from Congressman Lloyd Doggett for my dedication and commitment to the Democratic Party of Texas. I was named a Strutters Giant, the lifetime achievement award for that organization.

I served as president of the Strutters Always Chapter of the Texas State Alumni Association for three years, and led the organization through a major fundraising campaign to build the multi-million dollar Linda Gregg Fields Strutters Always Gallery at Bobcat Stadium. Additionally, Mark and I are donors to the Texas State University Center for Texas Music History and the Bobcat Athletic Foundation.   I have also  been named Employee of the Month at Texas State University.
