In the years following, various presidents have honored significant women during the month of March. The Women’s History Month theme for 2023 was “Women Who Tell Our Stories.” The National Women’s History Alliance stated: The timely theme honors women in every community who have devoted their lives and talents to producing art, pursuing truth, and reflecting the human condition decade after decade. From the earliest storytellers through pioneering journalists, our experiences have been captured by a wide variety of artists and teachers. These include authors, songwriters, scholars, playwrights, performers, and grandmothers throughout time. Women have long been instrumental in passing on our heritage in word and in print to communicate the lessons of those who came before us. Women’s stories, and the larger human story, expand our understanding and strengthen our connections with each other. (https://nationalwomenshistoryalliance.org/2023-theme/)
As an organization, we were founded by a woman and are run primarily by women. The work of our CEO, Wendy Puffer, embodies the devotion of producing art, engaging in conversation, and creating opportunities for the younger generation. Who are the women in your life that have made an impact on you? For me personally, I look at my mom, grandmother, sister, aunts, mother-in-law, and sisters-in-law. These women encourage me and uplift me. I am also impacted at work by the women who either supervise me or partner with me in our daily work. I encourage you to reflect on the women in your life and the impact they have made on you personally and in their communities. - Brittany Long, Project Manager and Chief Operating Officer
