Woman of the Year Banquet: honors local women who have made a positive societal change and has featured such keynote speakers as First Lady of Texas Laura Bush and former Governor of Texas Ann Richards. In 2002 we honored Carolyn Mitchell as our Woman of the Year. She is pictured here giving her acceptance speech. Dr. Mitchell has been a member of the SFASU faculty since 1976 in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Science. Dr. Mitchell has received many awards in her field, authored numerous academic publications, and is nationally recognized for her work. Dr. Mitchell's honors include Delegate to the U. S. Olympic Academy, Distinguished Professional Woman at SFASU, B&PW Woman of the Year and member of the Nacogdoches Women's Hall of Fame. Her community activities include leadership roles with the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce, the Nacogdoches Treatment Center, the Texas and Nacogdoches Commissions on Women and Families, and the Nacogdoches County Historical Foundation. In 2007 we honored Anne Phillips as the Woman of the Year Recipient. Check out our list of previous Woman of the
