DELAWARE STATE SENATE
149th GENERAL ASSEMBLY
SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 16
RECOGNIZING MARCH 19, 2018, AS “WOMEN IN PUBLIC OFFICE DAY” IN DELAWARE AND ENCOURAGING ALL CITIZENS TO CELEBRATE WOMEN IN PUBLIC OFFICE.
WHEREAS, the month of March is Women’s History Month and celebrates the significant contributions women of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds have made to the world; and
WHEREAS, women play a critical role in the vitality and diversity of our communities, and are essential to ensuring Delaware is well-represented; and
WHEREAS, while the twentieth century was a pivotal time of growth for women entering politics, women remain underrepresented in male-dominated fields, and thus, providing opportunities to support women in public office is imperative; and
WHEREAS, recognizing women in public office will bring awareness to the fundamental necessity of their work and will inspire other young people to serve their communities.
NOW, THEREFORE:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the 149th General Assembly of the State of Delaware that the Senate
hereby recognizes March 19, 2018, to be “Women in Public Office Day” and calls upon the people of Delaware to unite as we support the success of women in public office and observe every March 19th with appropriate activities, events, and programs.
