Celebrating a Trailblazer: Debra March

From park ranger to Mayor of Henderson, Debra March’s journey epitomizes dedication to public service and community development. Though she served a single extended term, lengthened by 1.5 years to align with the state election cycle, her impact on Nevada is lasting.

In recognition of her contributions, the College of Southern Nevada inaugurated the Debra March Center of Excellence in 2023—a 17,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing training facility designed to equip Nevadans with skills for high-demand industries.

Beyond her mayoral tenure, Debra continues to influence urban development as the Chair of the Urban Land Institute Nevada, advocating for sustainable growth and community-focused planning.

Her accolades, including the Glass Ceiling Award from NAWBO and the Michael O’Callaghan Public Sector Award, reflect her unwavering commitment to breaking barriers and fostering inclusive progress.

Let's honor Debra March's legacy and her ongoing efforts to shape a resilient and prosperous Nevada.
