Women’s History Month to be celebrated during Council meeting on March 19

In recognition of Women’s History Month, the Common Council will hold a special program at the beginning of its next regular meeting set for Tuesday, March 19 at 9 a.m. in the Common Council Chamber at City Hall, 200 E. Wells St. Media coverage is invited. The special program will be led by Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic, Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs, Alderwoman Larresa Taylor, Alderwoman Andrea M.

The program will include remarks from members of the Common Council, a poetry reading, and special recognition of several female leaders and influences within the community. Light refreshments will be available in the Vel R. Phillips Anteroom prior to the start of the Common Council meeting.

“Milwaukee is blessed to have a bounty of influential women who have risen to the very pinnacle of so many sectors over the years. These leaders and trailblazers have shown resilience and brilliance – often while pushing back against adversarial forces – and we are honored to recognize their contributions,” the Alderwomen said.

The Common Council meeting will be streamed live on the City Channel (channel 25 on Spectrum Cable and channel 99 on AT&T U-Verse in the City of Milwaukee) and via streaming video on the city website at city.milwaukee.gov/Channel25.
