The U.S. Army Women's Foundation
Celebrating 55 Years of Service 1969 - 2024

September is going to be a busy month for the U.S. Army Women’s Foundation. Please join us in celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 to Oct. 15). Be on the lookout as we share the accomplishments of women Hispanic Soldiers. On Sept. 11 we’ll observe Patriot Day as we honor those who died in 2001.  Also, September is Suicide Prevention Month, a good time to remind people of the hotline numbers and other resources for those in need.

As we move into October, we are getting ready for our participation in the AUSA Annual Meeting. If you have not made plans to attend the AUSA Annual Meeting 14-16 October, please consider doing so. The Army Women’s Foundation will have a booth in the Veterans’ Pavilion and will host a Professional Leadership program Monday, 14 October, 1:30 -3:30 at the Washington Convention Center, Room 202B.
