  • July 20, 2012 the Hon. Martin O'malley Office of the Governor
    July 20, 2012 The Hon. Martin O’Malley Office of the Governor State House 100 State Circle Annapolis, MD 21401-1925 Dear Governor O’Malley: On behalf of our 600,000 members and supporters, thank you for your leadership to commemorate the life and legacy of Harriet Ross Tubman, a native of the State of Maryland and a true American hero. From your initiative to create a state park to honor Tubman to the Congressional efforts to establish national parks in her honor, you have helped to provide the leadership and resources necessary to advance these goals. The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) strongly supports enactment of the Harriet Tubman National Historical Parks Act, S. 247. We also strongly support the complementary, recently initiated campaign for the President of the United States to use his executive powers under the Antiquities Act to designate a Tubman national monument on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Thank you for your continued leadership in these important efforts. Harriet Ross Tubman was a unique American. Enhancing public understanding of and appreciation for her life will teach us much about our history and the “Peculiar Institution” of slavery, and about the human spirit. That Tubman suffered brutal treatment at the hands of her owners is well known. Few people know, however, that the enslaved Tubman was a hard worker who once saved enough money to hire a lawyer to investigate the legality of a master’s claim of ownership of her mother, Rit. Tubman’s life stories illustrate the complexities of enslavement – its horrors, and the ability, however limited, for an enslaved person to have some influence over the course of his or her daily life.

  • Women in the Environment
    Women in the Environment Educational materials and resources that focus on the contribution women have made to the study and protection of our environment from the past to the present. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s, DEEP, mission is conserving, protecting, and improving the natural resources and environment of our state. DEEP is responsible for monitoring and regulating water, air, and land pollution in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the people of Connecticut and to preserve and enhance the quality of life for future generations. By looking at the past we can plan for the future. This activity packet provides you with the tools and information to research advances women have made in environmental sciences and the roles they have played as leaders. The early stigma of women not being able to master sciences has lasted well into the 20th century. However, there were early pioneers researching, recording and physically advancing the natural sciences and the role of conservation and environmental health. Today, women are found in all areas of study from the field to the laboratory. They are involved in policy making, education and enforcement throughout the world. This packet is a starting point for all students to investigate the past, present and future roles women play in the protection and understanding of our natural resources and serve as role models for future generations. Thank you for your interest in our programs. If you have any questions or wish for more information about educational workshops, events, or programs please contact us at DEEP’s Kellogg Environmental Center http://www.ct.gov/dep/kellogg P.O.

  • Iam Pleased to Serve As President of Women Legislators of Maryland
    Untitled-1 1 12/21/2018 1:23:26 PM Untitled-1 2 12/21/2018 1:23:28 PM A Message President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated I am pleased to serve as President of Women Legislators of Maryland Foundation, Incorporated. WLMF was established in 2006 through the efforts of The Honorable Eileen Rehrmann, a former delegate and the first woman to serve as County Executive of Harford County. WLMF’s first President was the late Delegate Pauline Menes, a founder of Women Legislators of Maryland (Women’s Caucus). WLMF was organized to assist the Women’s Caucus in achieving its funding potential in support of its agenda. The Women’s Caucus’ agenda addresses equal rights for women and children, primarily in connection with education, employment, economic development, and social opportunities. Throughout the history and advancement of our great nation, women have been an untapped and underutilized resource. However, today we celebrate! We are ecstatic to report that 2018 has truly been the year of the woman. I am delighted to share that record numbers of women ran successfully for office nationwide during the 2018 mid-term elections. The number of women in the Maryland General Assembly reached an all-time high of 72 members. In addition, WLMF is proud to report and salute the historical appointment of Victoria “Vicki” L. Gruber to the position of Executive Director of the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, on January 1, 2018. WLMF and the Women’s Caucus recognize and appreciate the leadership of Thomas V. “Mike” Miller Jr., President, Maryland Senate, and Michael E.
