...the spotlight!
In honor of Women’s History Month, Congresswoman Heather Wilson is asking New Mexicans to nominate women in New Mexico who have given special service to our community, but may have never received recognition for their good deeds.
All nominations must be received by March 19th and all nominees must be female residents of New Mexico. Nominations can be made posthumously.
“Every year hundreds of women make incredible sacrifices for our community and most do it in relative anonymity,” says Heather. This is a great way to say thank you to the many volunteers and unsung heroes who make our community so strong. I hope that as many people as possible will join me in this effort and I look forward to learning about the many heroic women who have touched people`s lives across our great state.”
A RICH HISTORY
National Women’s History Month, celebrated each March, grew out of an effort to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of women in American History.
“In 1978, the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women initiated a “Women’s History Week.” Later in 1987, at the request of museums, libraries, and educators across the country, the National Women’s History Project petitioned Congress to expand the celebration to the entire month of March.
"A National Women’s History Month Congressional Resolution was quickly passed with strong bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate.
"Women Sustaining the American Spirit" is the new theme for National Women`s History Month 2002. The goal is to showcase the diverse and interlocking stories of women who have created and affirmed the American spirit. The new 2002 theme will help deliver the message of who American women are and what they have accomplished.
