GREGO� Women's History Month
In recognition of the invaluable contributions, achievements and resilience of all women
throughout history, this March,join us in celebrating Women's History Month.
This year's theme, "Empowerment Through Unity: Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion" serves
as a reminder of the strength found in solidarity and power in celebrating our differences. As
we honor the legacies of women who have blazed trails and shattered barriers, let us also
reaffirm our commitment to fostering environments where all women, regardless of
background, can thrive and succeed.
From the women who fought tirelessly for suffrage to the innovators breaking new ground in
science, technology and arts, women have been at the forefront of progress, leading with
courage, tenacity and unwavering determination.
During this month, let us celebrate the achievements of women past and present, uplift their
voices and celebrate the invaluable roles they play in shaping our world. Let us dedicate
ourselves to building a future where every woman has the opportunity to fulfill her potential
and contribute her talents to the betterment of society.
As we reflect on the past and look towards the future, let us stand together in solidarity, united
in our commitment to creating a more equitable and inclusive world for all. Together we can
achieve greatness and together we can create a future where every woman's story is
celebrated and every woman's voice is heard.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that we, the Lake Oswego City Council, proclaim March,
2024 as Women's History Month in the City of Lake Oswego. We encourage all residents to
unite in paying tribute to the legacy of women from diverse, racial, social and ethnic
