Gainesville Mayor Mark Musselwhite presented a joint proclamation from the city and Hall County designating Tuesday, March 14th, 2006 as LeTrell E. Simpson Day as the Northeast Georgia Girl Scouts pinned the Northeast Georgia Hospital executive as their 2006 Woman of Distinction.

"It is because of you and others like you that I have been able to create the fabric of my life here in Gainesville and Hall County," Simpson said.
Simpson was the Gainesville Rotary Club's Woman of the year in 1994 and its first woman president in 2004.

"Let us work together for unity and love."
