NEWH owes Deborah a great debt of gratitude. She was a member almost from the very beginning, joining when she stepped into her father’s business and quickly becoming an active and passionate supporter of the organization. Her dedication to education and supporting students was unwavering. Please join us in honoring Deborah’s legacy and continuing her passion by contributing to the Deborah Herman Legacy Scholarship Fund.

Thinking back to those early days brings many memories—including the unforgettable Los Angeles Gala at the Beverly Hills Hotel that Deborah brought to life. Guests were welcomed with the song “We Are Family …. All My Sisters and Me,” a moment that perfectly reflected Deborah’s spirit of community, connection, and celebration within our industry.

Deborah gave so freely to NEWH and to our chapters across the country, sharing both her time and her financial support. Her generosity made a lasting difference to countless members and initiatives.

Please help us extend the reach of Deborah’s generosity with your donation.
