March Is Women’s History Month

Mary Edmunds, a member of our WIC Community, sent an email to the group reminding us that March is Women’s History Month; and she pointed us to a great website: National Women’s History Project. This is a great site! Thanks Mary!

In honor of Women’s History Month, I’m making a proclamation, using the U.S. President’s one as a guide (one of the suggestions from the site on how to celebrate):

Whereas every member of Women In Consulting (WIC) has made contributions to the growth and success of our Community in countless recorded and unrecorded ways, whether it’s volunteering on a committee or the board, attending a meeting, sharing best practices on the WIC Community Email List, or helping each other with challenges;  

Whereas every woman small-business owner and solopreneur has played and continues to play a critical role in the economic success of our nation and will be key to economic recovery—so keep positive and stay the course;

Whereas every woman small-business owner and solopreneur, especially the members of WIC, serves as a unique role model for young girls today, shaping their thoughts, goals, and ideas of what women can do;

Whereas every woman, whether working in or outside the home or both, should continue to support each other in our goals, because it takes all of us to truly succeed;

Whereas despite the contributions that women have made to business and society, their unique approach to working with others is often overlooked and undervalued;

Now, therefore, be it resolved that all of us will honor Women’s History Month by continuing to support one another, setting a good example for young girls and encouraging them, and remembering those who came before us and made it possible for us to be Women In Consulting.
