DC 37 Exec. Dir. Lillian Roberts is among a distinguished group of women recognized this year by the National Museum of Women in the Arts — the only museum in the world dedicated to women artists. As part of its 20th anniversary, the museum will host several Legacies of Women celebrations, which will include the “Salute to Women’s Leadership” CD-ROM featuring women who have led the way in fields beyond the arts. The CD-ROM will serve as a teaching tool for women and girls. “I was proud that Lillian will be part of this important project. Now, others will know the difference she has made in our union and in our nation,” says President McEntee.

Roberts also was one of six individuals recently honored by U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) at the senator’s annual African American Heritage Celebration, held in New York. Roberts was cited for her dedication to her union and DC 37’s successful launch of the Municipal Employees Housing Program, which provides the union’s members with housing assistance.
