Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame Names Beth Barela Board Chair
Adds Three New Directors
DENVER, September 27, 2017 – The Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame (CWHF) has named a new board chair and three new directors. Beth Barela is the new board chair. New directors include Deb Dufour, Kirstin Marr and Beth Drum. Betty Heid, outgoing board chair, remains onboard for another X year(s) and will continue to champion CWHF’s educational video production initiatives.
Beth Barela’s career has been spent leading teams of IT professionals responsible for data centers across the western portion of the US. She currently owns and runs WWC Ltd, an IT consulting and leadership coaching company. Recent clients include Kaiser, IQWired, and PEAK Resources.
Deb Dufour Is the Director of Business Process Outsource (BPO) at PRG. In her leadership role, Dufour provides strategic and operational oversight to PRG’s Business Process Division, leading the team in its respective business service offerings. She will put those skills to good work for CWHF, leading the organization’s strategic planning process and serving as its historian.
Representing CWHF in Southern and Western Colorado, Beth Drum currently serves as Senior Vice President for Alpine Bank, Durango. Her primary focus has been in marketing, business, and community development. Contributing her time to make a difference in local communities is a passion as exemplified by the numerous leadership positions she has held at various organizations outside of banking. She served as Chairwoman of the Mercy Health Foundation board, past president of the Durango Chamber of Commerce, and has served on the Women’s Resource Center board. She is currently serving on the Southwest Council for El Pomar
Kirstin Marr is CMO of Valen Analytics, a data analytics firm serving the property and casualty insurance industry. Marr’s background is in marketing leading edge technology firms. She has a Master’s degree from The University of Denver and a Bachelor’s degree from California State University, Chico. For CWHF, Marr will manage Inductee relations for the new 2018 Inductees as well as with the more than 150 women currently in the Hall.
Past Board Chair, Betty Heid, has spent four years ensuring the success of Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame. She is now focusing on preserving the history of its Inductees through videos, to be shown on PBS and used as educational material. Heid will remain on the board through August 2018.
“Accepting the responsibility as Chair of Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame has crystalized my observation that most women are passionate about making their environment better for the people that are being impacted, yet do not seek acknowledgement for their accomplishments,” Barela says. “It is the mission of Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame to tell the stories of our 152 remarkable Inductees in order to inspire others to confidently follow their dreams, and aspire higher.”
The all-volunteer CWHF Board of Directors donates expertise, intelligence, and time to share the stories of the women in the Hall through its website, portrait exhibits, speaker’s bureaus, events, and soon to be videos. The organization is about to induct up to 10 new women in March of 2018. “The women in the Hall are unsung heroes — hidden figures — who have endured with superlative strength, beauty and love,” says Barela. “They deserve absolute respect and acknowledgment. They are shining examples of the potential of all women. Their accomplishments are worthy of being emulated and have shaped history as well as transformed lives.”

National Women’s Hall of Fame Celebrates Colorado Hall-of-Famers
Temple Grandin and Carol Mutter
DENVER, Feb. 9, 2017 — The National Women’s Hall of Fame (NWHF) announced that 10 American women were added to the ranks of inductees whose leadership and achievements have changed the course of American history. Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame (CWHF) honorees Temple Grandin, Ph.D. and Lt. General Carol Mutter, were among the ten new national inductees.
The national announcement was made at a press event on February 7 in Seneca Falls, NY, at the Gould Hotel. This historic location, the birthplace of women’s rights, provided the setting for the announcement and was the place of the first women’s rights convention.
“History is told in many ways, but the Hall’s mission has been to tell women’s history as American history and in Colorado, our state’s history,” says Betty Heid, Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame board chair. “Colorado women continue to rank among the nearly 300 national inductees who have changed the course and culture of the U.S. across the fields of arts, athletics, business, education, government, humanities, philanthropy and science.“
Inducted to the CWHF in 2012, Temple Grandin, Ph.D., is an animal sciences innovator and champion of farm animal welfare whose masterly designs for livestock handling systems transformed the industry and are used worldwide today. Diagnosed at age two with Autism Spectrum Disorder, she experienced the anxiety of feeling threatened by her environment and went on to apply insights gained from her experience to conceptualize equipment that reduced animal stress during the livestock handling process. Her life and work have “revolutionized the study of autism,” captured in the title of her Ted Talk: “The World Needs All Kinds of Minds.” Dr. Grandin currently conducts research, teaches and consults internationally on autism, animal behavior and handling, as well as advancing quality standards and assurance in the meat and livestock industries safety.

General Mutter was inducted into the CWHF in 2004. She served for over 31 years in the US Marine Corps, attaining the rank of Lieutenant General and achieving many firsts, including first woman Marine three-star general, first woman to be qualified as Command Center Crew Commander / Space Commander at US Space Command, and first woman of general/flag rank to command a major deployable tactical command (3rd Force Service Support Group in Okinawa, Japan). At the time that she became the first woman Marine Major General she was the senior active duty woman across all military services. She entered the Marines when 1 percent of Marines were women and no women were in the deployed services.
Since returning to civilian life, General Mutter has continued to work on behalf of women Marines and is a role model for many.
