Obama Foundation Announces Naming of Garden Pavilion at Presidential Center for Speaker Emerita of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi
May 12, 2026 at 2:00 PM CDT

Press Release
CHICAGO — The Obama Foundation today announced the Nancy Pelosi Garden Pavilion at the Obama Presidential Center, celebrating Pelosi alongside other icons and everyday heroes who will be honored in named spaces at the Obama Presidential Center, thanks to generous gifts from benefactors. The Nancy Pelosi Garden Pavilion is made possible through a generous donation by philanthropist and business leader Ron Conway.

This naming of the pavilion for Nancy Pelosi, the first woman who served as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, reflects the Foundation’s continued commitment to building a campus that honors the significant contributions of the visionary and courageous individuals “on whose shoulders we stand.” Grounded in the belief that change takes all of us, the Obama Presidential Center brings together culture, community and civic engagement for visitors and neighbors to come together and be inspired to change their world through action.

“For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi served the American people and worked to make our country better,” said President Obama. “No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act. That’s why we’re proud to name the Garden Pavilion at the Obama Presidential Center after Nancy. It’s a way to honor her trailblazing leadership, and inspire visitors to follow in her footsteps.”

"In our nation's entire history, no President and Speaker of the House got more done for our country working together than President Barack Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi,” added Conway. “Gayle and I are deeply honored to support naming the gardens at the Obama Center after Speaker Pelosi. It's a fitting tribute to her legacy in Congress and to her historic partnership with President Obama.”
