The event is sold out. Please email maryra@sanpedrochamber.com if you would like to be added to the waiting list.
In March, the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce will be celebrating Women’s History Month honoring women who have made significant contributions to our community. Honorees will be recognized at a reception: “Celebrating Women – Celebrating Giving Back," on Thursday, March 9, 2023 at the San Pedro Elk's Lodge at 5:30 pm.
Why in March and how did the tradition start? In the United States, Women's History Month traces its beginnings back to 1911, to the First International Women’s Day. In 1980, President Carter, issued a proclamation creating an official Women’s History Week and in 1987, recognizing the outstanding contributions of women to our nation’s history, Congress established March as the official Women’s History Month. Each year, the President of the United States issues the official annual proclamation proclaiming March as National Women’s History Month. The San Pedro Chamber looks forward each year to joining in the celebration.
Our 2023 Honorees are:
SueAnn Ballat: Gang Alternatives Program
Gayle Fleury: Angel Gowns and Light of the Lighthouse
Amy Grat: President/CEO, EXP - The opportunity engine
Rosa Pesenti: Boys and Girls Club of the LA Harbor and Maria’s Closet
Nancy Richardson: LAMI and Girl Scouts
