What a month it has been! I find myself appreciating March more each year—not just because it’s Women’s History Month, but because it offers a meaningful opportunity to reflect and recenter.We kicked things off with the EmpowHER Women’s Employee Resource Group’s 3rd Annual EmpowHER Awards, celebrating the incredible women across our workforce. Five outstanding individuals were recognized for their contributions, and we heard powerful stories of growth and transformation from members of our women’s leadership team. It’s always inspiring to learn about the journeys—and the challenges—that shape each person’s path.To close out the month, our team hosted “The Prom Promise,” a prom drive aimed at helping students reduce the cost of prom by providing free apparel. Thanks to an outpouring of generosity, we collected more than 650 items for Baltimore City students. Giving back has always been a passion of mine, and seeing students find outfits they feel confident and excited in was truly rewarding.Grateful for a month filled with purpose, impact, and inspiration.hashtag#womensempowerment hashtag#womeninleadership hashtag#womeninbusiness hashtag#womendrivechange hashtag#womenwhogive hashtag#womenwithpassion hashtag#womensupportingwomen
