Nellie Tayloe Ross, the event’s namesake, was the nation’s first woman governor. Elected to complete the unexpired term of her late husband in 1924, Ross became a strong leader in her own right. She was a passionate advocate for women, children, farmers and miners. After leaving the governor’s office, Ross continued to dedicate her time and energy to progressive reforms and public service. A passionate advocate for women’s involvement in politics, she served as vice-chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Later, Franklin Roosevelt appointed Ross to serve as Director of the United States Mint, a position that she held from 1933 through 1952.
