Here are 7 ways to support and celebrate the women in your life!There are many ways we can celebrate woman all year long, instead of just the thirty-one days of Women’s History Month.

1. Watch women’s sports. Media coverage of sports has nearly tripled in the last five years – and tuning in regularly can help further increase coverage. Better yet, go cheer them on in person at our wonderful new stadium for the KC Current!
2. Celebrate your friends’ work win – send them a Congratulations card, take them out to lunch or throw them a party.
3. Volunteer your time. Donations are great but consider volunteering for an organization that helps women succeed. There are so many organizations here in Kansas City where you can help women by being a mentor, a big sister, training or donating gently used business clothes for a job interview.
4. Start a women-authors only book club to support the many women writers – it’s not hard to find them. I’ve been a member of a woman’s book club for years, that meets every month, and we have lots of laughs (and wine of course).
5. Support women business owners – we’re everywhere now, in every industry and we always need a little help from our girlfriends.
6. Visit a woman-owned restaurant with your girlfriends and see a movie that was written, directed, or produced by a woman.

We are all guilty of skipping that doctor’s appointment – nearly half of the women in the US are too. Make a pact with friends to get at least one checkup a year.

We have many women clients, being a woman owned company, and I love celebrating their many wins – most of their jobs would have been inconceivable years ago in industries that were primarily male oriented.

When I started in the printing industry years ago, there were no 100% women owners in Kansas City and there still are not. We have come a long way, but still have work to do.

Women supporting women lifts all of us up!
