💜 August 26 is Women’s Equality Day 💜
On this day in 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was certified, granting women the fundamental right to vote.
At the Kopenhaver Center, we remain committed to advancing equity, leadership, and opportunity for women, especially in the fields of communication, where representation and diverse voices matter more than ever.
Let’s continue to advocate, mentor, and empower the next generation of women leaders.
