Dear John,
Every Women’s History Month, we collectively celebrate the many contributions of women throughout history and across all facets of our society. What began in 1982 as Women’s History Week has grown into a month-long recognition of women and the integral ways they work and have worked to build and sustain families, communities, and this nation.
This year, the Women’s and Fair Practices Departments are proud to invite you to celebrate Women’s History Month with us through some exciting virtual workshops:
