Happy #InternationalWomensDay ?? As we celebrate Women’s History Month this March, Governor Kathy Hochul’s words reflect a long tradition of trailblazing women in New York State—women who have shaped history, broken barriers, and paved the way for future generations. From Eleanor Roosevelt’s tireless advocacy for human rights to Susan B. Anthony’s fight for women’s suffrage, and from Sojourner Truth’s courageous voice for equality to Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s groundbreaking impact on law and justice, New York has long been a leader in championing women’s rights and opportunities.

Gonzalez and some of our Leadership team, “Why is Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day important to you?” #WomensHistoryMonth #HESC #NYS
