Dear Colleague,

March is Women's History Month, a perfect time to recognize, reflect on, and celebrate the contributions of women today and throughout history. This year's theme is Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories. We are proud to join the nation in recognizing the incredible impact women have on our society. Women make critical contributions to the labor force in diverse industries. Their stories elevate women's voices everywhere and make the world a better place.

One woman who has spearheaded important research about the importance of Social Security to women is Dr. Heidi Hartmann, founder and former president of the Institute of Women's Policy Research. An expert in women's issues and economics, she has dedicated her career to researching and addressing economic security policy for women. You can read more about Dr. Hartmann and her work on our blog. Be sure to subscribe to blog updates when you visit the page.

Please also remind all of the women in your life that one of the best ways to plan for retirement is to open a personal my Social Security account to get estimates of future retirement benefits. It is a good idea to check your estimates every year.

More information for women is available on our Social Security for Women webpage.

Thank you for your support. Please share this information with your members, colleagues, affiliates, and other interested parties.

Sincerely,

Dawn Bystry
