Barbara Hackman Franklin Inducted into the Government Hall of Fame
n April 20, 2023 Director Emerita Barbara Hackman Franklin was inducted into the Government Executive Hall of Fame, in an “Evening of Honors” celebrated at the Washington National Cathedral. Along with her class of inductees, she was recognized for her historic achievements in service to the federal government and the American people.
Secretary Franklin has served in five presidential administrations; notably, under President Richard Nixon in 1971, she led the first White House effort to recruit women for high-level government jobs.This effort resulted in nearly quadrupling the number of women in policy-making positions, and the effects rippled out into American society, creating new opportunities for women for generations to come.
