American Family’s DreamBank hosts free events for Women’s History Month

During the month of March, we celebrate Women’s History Month to recognize the history and achievements of women. American Family recognizes that throughout history, women’s pursuit of their dreams has inspired and empowered many other women to do the same. The American Family DreamBank will host a variety of free, public events in celebration of Women’s History Month.

Women’s History Month
Women’s History Month is the annual celebration of the contributions women have made in the United States and recognizes the specific achievements women have made during American history. In 1987, Congress passed a resolution proclaiming March as Women’s History Month. Since then, presidents have issues annual proclamations designating the month of March as Women’s History Month. Since then, other countries began recognizing the month as well.

Events at DreamBank
