The Professional Development Institute, a division of the Early Learning Coalition of Miami-Dade and Monroe, invites you to join us in Celebrating HERstory: a curated panel in honor of Women’s History month. As a workforce of predominantly women serving predominantly women, we have so much that we can learn from each other. 

On Thursday, March 10, 2016, in honor of Women’s History Month, we are hosting a diverse panel of women who are Entrepreneurs, Clinicians, Journalists, Educators and CEOs from South Florida. Each will share HERstory on how she became a woman who leads.   

The March Café theme aligns perfectly with the 2016’s national focus for Women’s History Month: “Working to Form a More Perfect Union: Honoring Women in Public Service and Government”.  ‘Recognizing the dignity and accomplishments of women in our families and those from other backgrounds leads to higher self-esteem among girls and greater respect among boys and men. The results can be remarkable, from greater achievement by girls in school to less violence against women, and more stable and cooperative communities. The impact of women’s history might seem abstract to some, and less pressing than the immediate struggles of working women today. But to ignore the vital role that women’s dreams and accomplishments play in our lives would be a great mistake. We draw strength and inspiration from those who came before us – and those remarkable women working among us today. They are part of our story and a genuinely balanced and inclusive history recognizes how important women have always been in American society.’ 

The Cafes are held at our 2555 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Coral Gables office from 12 noon to 1:30 pm and everyone is invited. RSVP to [email protected] to reserve your seat.
