The Foundation for the Maryland Commission for Women Embrace the Pause: An Evening of Film, Conversation, and Community In Person | Wednesday, October 14 | 6 - 9 pm AFI Silver Theatre & Cultural Center 8633 Colesville Rd., Silver Spring, MD
Join the Foundation for the Maryland Commission for Women as we celebrate World Menopause Day and honor two leaders pivotal in passing Maryland’s historic menopause and women’s health legislation (SB892 & HB1365):
Speaker Joseline Peña-Melnyk, Maryland House of Delegates
