This March, we join women across the nation as we celebrate women’s contributions to history, culture and society. NFWL is honoring Women’s History Month by providing ways for you to celebrate digitally.
Tag us on Facebook and Twitter to share how you are celebrating, and use our platform to connect. We’ve included a few things we’re still doing digitally to celebrate, and if the social distancing somehow gives you time on your hands, we hope you can do something celebratory and fun! Read on to find out how to celebrate Women’s History Month this year!
- Write a Letter of Appreciation-A few simple words to acknowledge how another woman has inspired you can mean a lot to her. Take the time to send a note to another elected woman you have met at a past NFWL conference, or someone across the aisle with whom you’ve been meaning to connect. If you need an address of an elected woman, email ayushi@womenlegislators.org.
