Assemblyman William Colton (D – Gravesend, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, and Dyker Heights) reminds us that International Women’s Month is a worldwide celebration that recognizes women today around the world. It has been observed since the early 1900s and now is recognized each year during the month of March.

 “Women play an inspiring role in our society, and we must recognize the ones that are going above and beyond to create a better and brighter future for the next generation. Many women these days raise a family and have a job, which is not easy. Our children must learn how important the role of a woman is,” stated Colton.

 “For many years my office has been recognizing a number of distinguished women in our neighborhood. It has become a tradition. This year due to COVID-19 we will be honoring many great women for their achievements on zoom. The event will take place Wednesday, March 24^th, 2021, at 7:00 pm, on zoom,” Colton said.

If you know anyone that you would like to nominate, then please contact my office either by email: coltonw@nyassembly.gov or by calling 718-236-1598 and ask for Sarah. Nominations must be submitted by Wednesday, March 10^th, 2021. The zoom link will be provided at a later time.
