AHN Women's Leadership Alliance

National Women's History Alliance designates a theme for Women's History Month each year. This year's theme is "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations". It celebrates the powerful influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership.

Members of our community, either students looking to work for an alumna this summer or alumnae in need of a professional, continually ask me why alumnae haven't included their business on our AHN Connect business directory. So many of us know AHN friends who own a business.

This is integral to supporting the success of everyone in our community. If you and your family own a business, please submit it on our AHN Connect business directory after you've submitted your personal profile. You can easily manage your business page, add special discounts and offers for our alumnae and students, its a simple and sophisticated way to add value to our community, and to continue to be a leader and mentor to our community members.

If you would like to hire our high school students for summer work or an internship, please email me or include a post on AHN Connect.

God bless,
