Legacy & Milestones

Since our founding, NARBW SoCal has proudly built a legacy of leadership, service, and excellence within the rail community.

From the day our chapter was established, we have continued to grow and make a meaningful impact—celebrating key milestones that reflect the strength and dedication of our sisterhood. Our journey includes historic leadership achievements, such as Trischelle [Last Name], our first member to serve on the National Board; prestigious honors like Sandra Martinez being named 2025 Woman of the Year; and chapter-wide accomplishments including hosting the 2023 NARBW National Convention and earning the 2025 Founder’s Day Award.

Each milestone represents more than a moment—it reflects our commitment to uplifting one another, serving our communities, and leaving a lasting mark on NARBW.

And we’re just getting started. 💙
