It’s wonderful to hear that Carolyn will be presenting and reading from her acclaimed book, “Hasta Mañana.” Her recognition by an organization that champions women’s inclusion and promotion is truly commendable. The alignment of this event with the campaign theme for International Women’s Day 2024, “Inspire Inclusion,” highlights the importance of empowering women in all aspects of society. Carolyn’s contribution to this cause through her work is inspiring and impactful.
When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world; and when women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. The Salisbury Branch of American Association of University Women are elated to have you join us for this event.
