Nancy Pelosi reshaped American politics while serving as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Elected to Congress from California, she rose to become the first female Speaker of the House, guiding the chamber through periods of intense national change. Pelosi played a central role in passing landmark legislation, including the Affordable Care Act. Her effectiveness as a leader and historic representation of women in leadership opened doors for future generations of political leaders.

Meet More Honorees
Through the honoree naming initiative at the Obama Presidential Center, we are partnering with our donors to celebrate a part of the history in which the Obama story is so deeply rooted by associating a named space with a hero, moment, or person "on whose shoulders we stand"—an honoree who made the Obamas’ story possible.
