🎉 Empowerment Alert! 🎉 Celebrate Women's History Month with us on March 28, 1-2:30 pm EDT at our webinar designed for the fierce and dedicated women in public defense. Hear from trailblazers like Colette Tvedt, Gem Jones, Cynthia Roseberry, Chelsea Hawkins, and Lori James-Townes. Learn more about this event below: As we navigate through our careers and personal journeys, we often encounter moments that challenge our resolve. This is why our theme, Purpose, Passion, and Power, resonate so deeply within our community. Even on the toughest days, it is our purpose that sustains us. It’s not just about what we do, but the spirit with which we do it. And yes, while power has been wielded against us, it is also ours to claim and channel towards creating positive change. As multifaceted women, we bring a spectrum of strengths and perspectives to the table. This webinar isn’t just a gathering; it’s a celebration of who we are and all that we’ve accomplished. It’s a call to arms for all women in public defense to stand tall, embrace their power, and continue the vital work of shaping a just world. Register for your spot now!

One thing I love about cozy mysteries? Most of them feature women as the main characters–and they are the detectives, the masterminds and the heroes of their own narratives. As we enter Women’s History Month, I love to think about the women voices who have made literature, and especially the mystery genre, what it is today. And about the other women who had their voices muted or obscured by the prevailing narratives of their time. In the work I do, I love to watch more women take ownership of their creativity and their self-expression. Women, in particular, often face unique challenges in finding their voices and asserting their stories in a world that can be indifferent or even hostile to their perspectives. But through mentorship and guidance, I see them reclaiming their narratives, embracing their creativity and creating their own paths with confidence and purpose. This month–and all months–we must celebrate the achievements of the women who have paved the way for us but also commit ourselves to amplifying the voices of those whose stories have yet to be told. We need to recognize that every woman contributes to our collective human experience. Let’s celebrate resilient, creative, empowered women on ALL the days. 💪

Today' celebration of Women's History Month was well represented with this group of women! We wore purple to celebrate International Women's Day as well! Purple signifies justice, dignity and being loyal to the cause. Special shout out to Lori Driscoll Stephanie Louie for coordinating our NextUp Northern California peninsula lunch. I encourage all men and women in my network (yes, you too MEN!) to find different ways to support women in the workplace. Here are some great easy ways to do so: 1. Acknowledge Women's History Month by simply saying "Happy Women's History Month" 😍 2. Ask them about recent successes and how they accomplished them. 3. Post about a woman that has had an impact on your career. Everyone appreciates acknowledgement. 4. Make someone smile. Yep - that easy. It's just so much more fun working when we're happy, right? Anyone else have suggestions on how to support and celebrate women this month? Andrea (Rockers) Wright Amila Tiric, CLMP Su Feng Kuo, Ph.D.

🌟 Celebrating Women's History Month 🌟 We are celebrating Women’s History Month by sharing wisdom and advice from past Girl Scouts who are making a difference in their communities and the world! 👋 Holly Martinez – Executive Director of the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls 💚 Memories: What I remember most of my time as a Daisy is my mother leading our group. I remember her preparing before each meeting, and loved it when she’d give a little hint of what we’re going to do on the car ride over. While I can’t recall any specific lessons from so long ago, how I felt about that time in my life is as vivid and strong like it happened just yesterday. 🤝 Leadership Journey: Being a Girl Scout has played a role not just in my leadership journey but also as a parent. Like my mother, I am now involved in Girl Scouts and co-lead my daughter’s troop. Throughout my career, I have centered the needs of California’s women and families, and serve the needs of our communities. Today, I serve as the Executive Director of the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls working to eliminate inequities in state laws, practices, and conditions that affect California’s women and girls. Over the past three years, the Commission has supported women and girls at the local level by infusing local communities with resources that advance economic opportunity for women. 💡 Advice to Future Women Leaders: We must take action now to make economic independence a reality for women. We must end the wage gap. While acknowledging, thanking, and celebrating women is important – it shouldn’t start and end with a thank you. Don’t just thank us… pay us. 🌱 Best Leadership Advice: "When a woman dares act big, we must challenge others who work to make her look small." 📣 Final Thoughts: I am so excited that we have entered into a collaboration agreement with all eight Girl Scout councils to invest in the women leaders of the future. Here's to the past, present, and future trailblazers of Women's History Month! 💪 #GSHCC #WomensHistoryMonth
