EAST PROVIDENCE, RI – The City of East Providence is celebrating the achievements of women in East Providence and throughout the world by proclaiming March Women’s History Month and March 8, 2025, International Women’s Day in East Providence.
“We are committed to recognizing the women in our community who for a long time have gone unrecognized, recognizing them for their tremendous impacts on our community, whether that be through education, non profit philanthropy, to raising awareness on important issues ongoing in our community,” Mayor Bob DaSilva said. “ There have been women leading the way for decades who have never received recognition, and this is our opportunity to recognize incredible women in East Providence who are making a difference.
The administration is also kicking off its 7th Annual Remarkable Women Recognition Program and is asking for the community’s help in recognizing women in East Providence who have demonstrated extraordinary accomplishments that have had a positive impact on the community.
During the months of March and April, Remarkable women will be recognized and celebrated for their impact in the community.
The twelve honorees include trailblazers, leaders of industry, mentors, community organizers, businesswomen and women who work tirelessly day in and day out and have left a resounding impact on the people of our community and state and continue to help East Providence shine and remain a prosperous place to live.
