The event will offer an opportunity for middle and high school female students to begin exploring careers of their interest and that are non-traditional for women.
“Women in Maryland earn about 87 percent of what men earn,” said County Executive Marc Elrich. “In order to create more gender pay equity in the future, it is important that we provide career mentorship opportunities to young women in middle and high school now. I appreciate the effort of our Commission for Women during Women’s History Month to engage our next generation of leaders and provide them the tools and inspiration to make their own history.”
