Women's History Month Events
Every March we acknowledge how women have strived for equity and equality in communities around the world. The 2026 Women’s History Month theme: “Leading the Change: “Women Shaping a Sustainable Future” expands our understanding of sustainability beyond just environmental concerns. It encompasses financial sustainability, community resilience, leadership succession, and intergenerational equity. Whether developing green technologies, advancing economic justice, strengthening education systems, or building civic power – women are designing blueprints for sustainable transformation. Join us in the Pedroso Center this month for all of our Women's History Month programming.
