Welcome to Portland International Women's Day 2008
Over 2000 people of diverse ages, cultures, and backgrounds will come together to celebrate the 2008 Portland International Women’s Day Sunday, March 9th from 2:00 to 8:00pm in the Portland State University Smith Center Ballroom at 1825 SW Broadway. Now in its 33rd year, this annual celebration of the richness, strength, and value of women and their contributions to the community will be embracing “Women in Politics: Living as Examples” as the theme for 2008. A $3 donation is requested at the door.
The mission of Portland International Women's Day is to provide opportunities for women and the community at large to discover similarities and learn from the differences in an environment that is respectful, inclusive, and supportive of the values and points of view of all women. International Women's Day is observed in over 20 countries worldwide and is a United Nations sanctioned holiday. The month of March is celebrated nationally as Women's History Month.
