On March 8th, 2022, women from diverse backgrounds and cultures joined Councilmember David Oh for a local celebration of International Women’s Day at City Hall. “Today marks a call for action for accelerating women’s advancement and equality,” said Councilmember Oh. This delightful gathering highlighted strong women that inspire others through their respective careers, community work, and day-to-day lives. This event also commemorated those who serve others through non-profits, corporations, and foundations that improve the quality of life for other women.
