Every March, we come together to celebrate the women who have shaped our history and continue to break barriers today. From the trailblazers who fought for the right to vote to the innovators revolutionizing science, business, and the arts; Women's History Month is a time to honor their achievements and reaffirm our commitment to the work that remains.
Commissioner Briones invites you to celebrate these remarkable women at a community center near you. Join us as we uplift their stories, learn from their experiences, and inspire the next generation of leaders.
