The Women’s Equality Centennial Celebration luncheon this year will feature Astronaut Mae Jemison, a major leader in the STEM world internationally. We also want to celebrate local STEM leaders by featuring women here each week. We will be randomly selecting women involved in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
