City Issues Proclamation Recognizing Women's History Month
At its March 15, 2023 meeting, the San Bernardino City Council proclaimed the month of March as Women's History Month. Mayor Helen Tran, along with Council Members Sandra Ibarra and Kimberly Calvin presented a copy of the proclamation to Jody Isenberg from the San Bernardino League of Women Voters.
The proclamation reads:
WHEREAS, in 1987, The United States Congress designated the month of March as
“Women’s History Month” to commemorate and encourage the study, observance, and
celebration of the vital role of women in American history; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that 50.2% or 111,546 residents in the City
of San Bernardino are women; and
WHEREAS, the contributions and accomplishments by women in the City of San
Bernardino are vast, significant, and under-appreciated; and
WHEREAS, women now serve San Bernardino in State and local elected office, including
our Mayor, two city council members, our state senator, one of our County Supervisors, and
members of our local and County school boards and community college board of trustees; and
WHEREAS, women in San Bernardino continue to play a crucial role in our community as
entrepreneurs, public servants, non-profit leaders, health care providers, educators, first
responders, and volunteers; and
WHEREAS, many of the current achievements by women in San Bernardino would not
have been possible without the women that came before them, blazing the trail, breaking the
glass ceiling, and redefining expectations.
NOW THEREFORE, THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO, do hereby proclaim March 2023 as
WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
and encourage citizens to become more aware of the significant contributions of women to
our City and nation.
Presented this 15th Day of March 2023
