SACRAMENTO -- State Sen. Jack Scott (D-Burbank) introduced Burbank
City Councilwoman Marsha Ramos on the state Senate floor as his Woman of
the Year for the 21st Senate District.
Ramos joined 39 other women Monday in being recognized for their
contributions to their communities. As someone who has devoted years of
her life to public service, the experience of being honored in the
state's chambers was unforgettable, she said.
"First of all, you're in a place where the decisions are made that
affect the lives of the people in the state of California," Ramos said.
"As you look at the women who are from all over the state -- I was so
honored. I will never forget that day. Never."
Along with her work as a council member, Ramos serves on the board of
directors for the Family Service Agency, the Burbank Noon Rotary, Habitat
for Humanity and the Burbank Family YMCA.
Her other accomplishments include being a founding board member of the
Boys and Girls Club of Burbank, a past president of the Burbank Human
Relations Council and the former chair of the Burbank Police Commission.
Ramos attended Burbank public schools as a child.
