Thank you to the representatives from the Maryland Women's Business Center, Rockville Economic Development, Inc. (REDI), and several members from the Commission for Women for helping us recognize National Women's Small Business Month with a County Council proclamation.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month - County Council Proclamation

Today, I presented a County Council Proclamation recognizing October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Dr. Travis Gayles, Health Officer and Chief of Public Health Services and Vickie Buckland, Chief Operating Officer of Montgomery County's Department of Health and Human Services accepted the proclamation.

Montgomery County is fortunate to have many partners across various disciplines that raise awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer as well as provide services to those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer

By way of this proclamation we  show that we stand with the mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, and friends who have been affected by breast cancer, and that we recognize the ongoing efforts of dedicated advocates, researchers, and health care providers who strive each day to defeat this terrible disease.You can watch the Proclamation presentation here.
