Women's History Month Proclamation

Today Council Vice President Nancy Navarro and I presented a Proclamation to the Montgomery County Commission for Women in recognition of Women's History Month.

During Women’s History Month, we celebrate the courage, foresight and creativity of women of every race, class and ethnic background who have contributed to our county and our country. Today, we took time to remember the many Montgomery County women, including Rachel Carson, mother of the modern environmental movement; Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross; and Emily Edmonson, freed slave and abolitionist, who figure importantly in our local and national history.
