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.

Congratulations to two outstanding Army Women!

On Wednesday, September 11, 2024, the Women’s Presidents Organization, in partnership with Women Elevating Women (WEW), honored 24 incredible women across North America for their outstanding achievements and lasting community impact. U.S. Army Veteran, Ms. Diedre Windsor, was among the elite 24 to be recognized for the 2024 Entrepreneur Women of Impact Award. This award highlights the power of women’s leadership and the effect they create in industries and communities. Ms. Windsor is the Founder and CEO of Windsor Group, LLC and a Philanthropist.

Colonel Edna W. Cummings, USA, Retired, has been named the recipient of the 2024 Sergeant Sanders H. Matthews Veteran Award, an honor recognizing veterans who have successfully transitioned to civilian life while making significant contributions to their fellow servicemembers. Sergeant Matthews, the last known living West Point Buffalo Soldier, embodied resilience and service, and this award carries on his legacy. Congratulations to Colonel Cummings for her remarkable achievements and unwavering dedication to assisting other veterans.

The Foundation awarded scholarships to Army women and their lineal descendants and inducted the 2024 class of Army Women into the U.S. Army Women’s Foundation Hall of Fame. We are grateful to our donors and corporate sponsors who helped ensure a remarkable event!
