Miami, FL: U.S. Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, senior member of the Florida Congressional Delegation, was inducted into the Florida Women's Hall of Fame at a Tallahassee ceremony on Tuesday.

Ros-Lehtinen and two other women were selected from a list of 10 finalists picked by the Florida Commission on the Status of Women.

The Hall of Fame recognizes and honors women who, through their works and lives, have made significant contributions to the improvement of life for women and for all citizens of the state.

Ros-Lehtinen stated: ``I am humbled by this selection as there are so many good and productive women in our State and community worthy of this recognition. I will continue to work hard in Congress and throughout my community so that other women can have the opportunities and chances that were offered to me.''
