The first woman has been elected chairman of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Show in its 91 years.
Youngest of four children, Pat Mann Phillips grew up on a farm and family ranch in Johnson County surrounded by cattle, pigs and horses, several of which she showed at local livestock competitions."Anything I could put a halter on with four legs."
They began volunteering on committees in 2002 and now 21 years later she has been elected the first ever female chairman of the board of directors for the HLSR now in its 91st year of existence. That's from among volunteer ranks that have grown to 35,000 a year. "I could not have ever imagined in my life that this would be where I am today. It shows that if you really love something if you're really really committed to its purpose and the mission and you're surrounded by 35,000 like-minded people with a big heart that all want to support our show and our mission, anything can happen.
Instead, it was an all white male club. Which when looking upon a photo of the group at the time, wasn't real inspirational if you were female or a person of color.

Harry’s lawyer said he wouldn't be available to testify following opening statements on Monday because he took a flight from Los Angeles on Sunday after the birthday of his 2-year-old daughter, Lilibet.

Mirror News Group has denied the allegations.
