City Council of San Fernando issued a Proclamation

Last week, the City Council of San Fernando issued a proclamation declaring March to be Womens History Month. I was thrilled to be presented with the proclamation by the City Council and to have the opportunity to speak about this amazing distinction!

Excited to see how this funding will empower the next generation of women STEM professionals in AD-39!
