2023 SAWHOF Gala Program

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the San Antonio Women’s Hall of Fame is to provide educational scholarships for deserving local women pursuing a college education; promote education and individual development in order to improve the status, interests and needs of our community; and present, recognize and honor outstanding women in the community for their service and contributions through induction in the organization.

I am honored to serve as President of the San Antonio Women’s Hall of Fame alongside a remarkable team of women leaders who serve on the Board of Directors and the Standing Committees.

March is National Women’s History Month and the national theme “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories” honors women who have devoted their lives and talents to producing art, pursuing truth, and reflecting the human condition. Decade after decade, women have long been instrumental in passing on our heritage in word and in print and most recently in forms of digital media to communicate the lessons of those who came before us.

Storytelling brings people together to nurture inclusivity, diversity, and creativity. The women inducted this evening are pioneers, entrepreneurs, and clearly leaders in their respective fields. They will share stories on how they change the work environment to create opportunities to learn and to help others envision and re-imagine a world open to possibility.

Each honoree is presented with our legacy Glass Iceberg Award. Like an iceberg, what is seen above the surface, is only a tip of the strength that lies below. And through that strength, the inspiration of these women, spreads light to the lives of others and reflects a belief in the unlimited potential of this and future generations. Each one of our honorees represents hundreds of others, and together they inspire us.

We are in our 10th year of affiliation with the Young Women’s Leadership Academy, an exemplary nationally recognized campus serving young women from throughout Bexar County. We are pleased to report that within this timeframe, in addition to scholarship assistance, our members mentor students and follow their progress through stages of college completion.

On behalf of the San Antonio Women’s Hall of Fame Board of Directors, we congratulate our 2023 Inductees. My heartfelt gratitude to our Induction Gala Committee Chairs who have spearheaded the honoree selection, induction gala and auction.

Thank you to all in attendance, our sponsors and to those who contributed to our gala and auction. Your partnership helps sustain our mission and your generosity lightens the financial load for our scholarship recipients. Together, we invest in their future, one that ignites imagination and opens their hearts and minds to a world of discovery, action, and purpose.

COMMUNICATIONS

Nora Lopez is Executive Editor at the San Antonio Express-News. Prior to that, she was the Metro Editor, a position she held for eight years at the same newspaper where she began her professional journalism career as an intern. A 35-year news veteran, Lopez oversees a team of talented editors and award-winning reporters who produce content for both print and digital publications. In between her stints at the Express-News, first in 1987 and again in 2000, Lopez was a reporter at The Dallas Morning News and the now defunct San Antonio Light. Lopez transitioned from reporter to editor when she was named criminal justice editor at the Express-News in 2001. Lopez also served as State Editor, overseeing six bureaus in Mexico, the Texas-Mexico Border, the state capitol and Washington, D.C., before being promoted to Deputy Metro Editor.

Lopez is the immediate past president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, serving from 2020-22. She has long been active with both the San Antonio Association of Hispanic Journalists, serving as its president from 2019-2020, and the San Antonio Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, serving as its vice president for programming and as a producer of the group’s annual scholarship fundraiser, the Gridiron show.

CREATIVE ARTS

Vanessa Bessler, MBA, is a former principal dancer with the National Ballet of Panama and a ballet master with over 30 years of teaching experience. Her training includes the Russian Vaganova, Royal Academy of Dancing, and Cecchetti pedagogical methods.

Vanessa focuses on teaching students the purity of ballet technique, a deep love for the history and culture of classical ballet, perseverance, and creativity. She has a remarkable track record of preparing successful dancers and is the only local ballet master who has placed finalists in the Prix de Laussane, Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP), and IBC Jackson international finals. Additionally, she has received the “Outstanding Teacher” award from the YAGP for 8 consecutive years!

In 2015, Vanessa established the Children’s Ballet of San Antonio – a non-profit focused on inspiring youth artists to pursue excellence and prepare for productive and creative lives through dance. Through CBSA, she created the first dance company in San Antonio to stage fully inclusive casts; creating training and performance opportunities for all youth artists to shine on stage! But the most important skills Bessler’s students receive are not measurable by awards or prestigious college admissions. Grit, friendship, love, respect and inclusion are the core curriculum along with tendus and relevés; life skills extending far beyond the stage!

Vanessa is the founder of the Dance Center of San Antonio and Tutus & Ribbons boutique and, with her husband, Tim, has two children: Paul, a UT Austin junior in engineering, and William, a senior pursuing a career in ballet – just like his mom!

SanAntonio Women

In 2018, Judge Vasquez became the first woman of color elected Judge of the Bexar County Probate Courts.

Before taking the bench, Judge Vasquez campaigned on putting people first. Since taking the bench, she has done exactly that. She provides informational resources for the public in English and Spanish on her website, the first probate court in the state to do so. She provides helpful resources and templets available to the public and attorneys to make the probate process less overwhelming. She continues to educate the public with presentations on wills, guardianships and elder exploitation.

Judge Vasquez is passionate about equality and justice for all members of our community, especially the elderly, and those with special physical and mental abilities. She collaborated with Gordon Hartman to create a pick-up/drop-off zone for those with special needs at the old courthouse. She also works in conjunction with State Senator José Menéndez to spearhead the Bexar County Elder Abuse and Exploitation Task Force, a group dedicated to justice for the elderly and incapacitated who have experienced abuse, neglect, or exploitation.

As a result of the Elder Abuse and Exploitation Task Force that Judge Vasquez co-chairs, Sen. Menéndez sponsored and passed House Bill 1156 during the Texas State 87th Legislative Session.

But her most recent accomplishments speak the most towards her commitment to public service: She serves as an elected official on the Alamo Colleges Board, and as a City Council appointee to the Brooks Board.

The journey to her success is nothing short of extraordinary. She became pregnant at 16 and had her daughter her senior year at Harlandale High. Taking her infant with her, she went to the University of Pennsylvania, becoming a founding sister of Sigma Lambda Upsilon/Señoritas Latinas Unidas Sorority, and then earned her master’s from Columbia University before returning home to earn a doctorate in leadership studies from Our Lady of the Lake while juggling a full-time job and family, including her son, who was born during the program.

Her subsequent work has always been paralleled with volunteering, and mentoring others. She has a devoted ex-student network, including hundreds who have gone on to work in the very fields she trained them for, including Express-News, City of San Antonio, Palo Alto College, Univision, and KENS-TV.
