Women's History Month

March is Women’s History Month and SPS would like to thank all the women who make our organization what it is today! Be sure to check out the  Alumni Engagement Program to read about some of the amazing women of SPS.  If you would like to connect with any of these women or other alumni from our program, you can request them for mentoring, talks (virtual and in person), tours, or even job shadowing!

Check out our social media for the month of March to get to know the women behind the scenes at the SPS National office.
