The National Women's History Project has designated this year's Women's History Month theme as Celebrating Women of Character, Courage and Commitment. What women do you know whose character, courage and commitment you admire and seek to emulate?

I ask each member to take a moment in March to reflect on the women who have inspired and motivated you. Women's history month is designed to honor and remember those women who have impacted and changed history no matter how big or small. For those who would like to learn more about Women's History Month, I encourage you to check out these web sites:

I hope that many of our chapters and members have planned Women's History Month programs and/or celebrations. If you have, I hope that you will come to the April board meeting with a story or anecdote to share about your project.
