I am thrilled to announce that, once again, the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) is the lead for our annual Women’s History Month (WHM) celebration! I am to lead a committee to bring a wonderful program to the District in honor of WHM. In alignment with the National theme; this year, our theme is "Women’s Education – Women’s Empowerment."
We are excited to host this event on Wednesday, March 7, 2012; where we will transform the Plaza into a "Women in the Market Place" - where exceptional women from Caltrans, California, the World will gather to showcase their talents, products and services. The event will also feature a panel of "Women with a Story" to share with us. You don’t want to miss this fabulous event!
A Call for Participation – It takes teamwork to make a dream work! Therefore, we need your assistance to share this opportunity with any female entrepreneurs that wish to join our "Women in the Market Place" as a vendor.
