The County of San Bernardino Fifth District proudly celebrated the 2026 Fifth District Sheroes Recognitions, honoring five extraordinary women whose leadership, service, and dedication continue to uplift communities throughout San Bernardino, Colton, Bloomington, Rialto, and beyond.
Hosted by Vice Chair and Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr., the annual Sheroes Recognition highlights women who lead with compassion, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to strengthening families and neighborhoods.
“These remarkable women represent the very best of the Fifth District,” said Supervisor Baca. “Their service may look different in every community — from public safety and education to faith leadership and neighborhood advocacy — but what unites them is their heart for people and their commitment to building a stronger future for our residents.”
