A joint congressional resolution designated March as Women's History Month. New York State Women, Inc. adopted the Women's History Month Award at the 1990 Board Meeting, in an effort to make our members and their communities more aware of the contributions women have made, and continue to make, throughout history.
Local chapters are urged to record their events with photos, press releases and any notes taken on events and activities. These will be used to prepare their scrapbook for the Annual Women's History Month Competition, with the winning scrapbook to be announced at State Conference.
