International Women’s Day

Northern Essex Community College will host its second annual International Women’s Day event on Tuesday, March 5, from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the Hartleb Technology Center with a panel of four local women who hold high profile positions.

Following the theme of “Balance for Better,” they will share their stories as to what motivated them to become agents of change. They will describe their challenges and share advice for college students who want to make the world a better place.

This event is free and open to the college community. Faculty are encouraged to ask their students to attend. Please register here for the event.

The event, sponsored by NECC’s student life, will provide a light lunch. Speakers include Mary Ellen Daly O’Brien, Haverhill City Council; Bopha Malone, Enterprise Bank vice president; Juana Matias, attorney and social worker; and Tram Nguyen, Massachusetts State Representative.
