(Seguin) — Seguin Mayor Donna Dodgen is getting another distinguished title.
The Seguin Area Chamber of Commerce is naming Dodgen the 2025 Guadalupe County Woman of Influence Award recipient.
The announcement was recently made during the Seguin City Council meeting by Chamber President Chester Jenke.
Jenke says Dodgen was chosen for her many contributions to the community over the years.
“Mayor Dodgen currently serves as the chair of the Northeast Partnership for Economic Development and sits on the board of directors for the Alamo Area Council of Governments. Her past leadership includes service on the Seguin-Schertz Local Government Cooperation Board, the Seguin Area Chamber of Commerce Board, Zonta International District ten, and Emmanuel Lutheran Church. As a graduate of multiple community leadership programs, Donna is one of six rare, distinguished citizens,” said Jenke.
Jenke says Dodgen’s contributions extend well beyond her official duties as mayor. He says she regularly finds other ways to give back to this community.
“On any given day – yes, even weekends, you’ll find Donna out and about championing local events, emceeing ceremonies, cheering on local sports teams or representing Seguin at regional meetings and conferences. Her bright smile, infectious laugh, boundless energy and trademark hugs have made her a beloved local icon. Donna is affectionately dubbed as the Queen of Seguin, a title she wears with grace, humor and heart,” said Jenke.
Jenke says the chamber’s Women’s Council selected Mayor Dodgen as this year’s award recipient, and she will be formally recognized during an event later this month.
“For these reasons and many more, Mayor Dodgen has been selected by the Seguin Chamber Women’s Council as a Guadalupe County Woman of Influence Award recipient for the 2025 conference which will be held July 31st, 2025. Congratulations, mayor. Thank you. Thank you so very much,” said Jenke.
