Historia biográfica
Originally born in Bridgeton, New Jersey, Betsy Kaplan moved to Miami, Florida in 1934 where she attended Miami Edison Senior High. She later graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Speech and Theater Arts from Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia. She eventually returned to Miami to teach English as a second language at Miami-Dade Community College and served as a member of the Miami-Dade County School Board for 16 years, advocating for the improvement of public school education up until her retirement at the age of 77. She also served as a member of the boards for the following institutions: Actors’ Playhouse and GableStage in Coral Gables; Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network/Safe Schools; WLRN; Miami Children’s Foundation; and Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs. Some of her notable achievements include winning the Wesleyan College's Distinguished Achievement Award and the Jewish Museum of Florida's Breaking the Glass Ceiling Award.
She passed away in Miami in 2017 at the age of 90.
