Sally Anne Sheridan is among the many notable women whose names are inscribed on the city's Wall of Recognition. Established in 2006, the monument honors residents whose community service has helped Irvine become and remain America's most celebrated master-planned city.

She was appointed to the Community Services Commission in 1971, the year the city incorporated, and served alternately as a member and its chairwoman until 1984. That year she was elected to the City Council, serving uninterrupted until 1992, including as mayor her last two years.

For good measure, Sheridan served as president of the League of California Cities; president of the board of Ballet Pacifica; as a board member of Arts Orange County; and chairwoman of Sanitation District 14, among others.
