EXECUTIVE LETTER EXCLUSIVE |

Dear Supporter and Member:
HAPPY WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH
Greetings and Happy Women’s History Month where this year’s theme is “Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope.”
What springs to mind when you think of the wonderful contributions that the women in your life have created? Do you think of the mothers who are making sure the household is in order, the kids are fed, and schoolwork is completed? Are you thinking of the grandmother’s and aunties who are a part of the village making sure that encouragement is happening? What about those women in leadership, executive suites, medical offices, laboratories or in skilled trades, do they offer inspiration to other little girls in the world trying to find their way? Each year women across the globe continue to push the glass ceiling, fight for equitable pay, and increase the awareness of equal access for the future generations of young girls and women.
Katherine Johnson stated “girls are capable of doing everything men are capable of doing. Sometimes they have more imagination than men.” It does not take heroic effort to elicit what many young girls require to make their dreams become a success. This year the focus of Women’s History as it relates to healing and hope is to focus on those local Sheroes! Those women who are actively involved in your life and celebrate their accomplishments no matter the size or amount of effort.
What do I envision for the city of Pontiac? As we usher in a new shifted perspective on collaboration, cooperation and effective leadership between our city, school district and the community of Pontiac; my hope is that this city continues to grow and prosper. It does this by utilizing the transformational style of leadership that many women possess. The showcase of businesses owned by women can help empower more young women and girls to participate in job shadowing. Read More.
Sincerely,
Coco Moulder,
