In 1987, Congress declared March as Women’s History Month to commemorate and encourage the study, observance, and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. CHW is fortunate to have talented women contributing across all our disciplines to support the communities where we live and work.

We’ve collected a few stories, a bit of history, and an interesting data project to celebrate the leadership and hard work of women representing the STEM industry across Florida and the US.
