Detailed Summary

Women’s History Month is celebrated annually from March 1st to March 31st, recognizing the significant contributions of women throughout American history, culture, and society. Established in 1981 as Women’s History Week, it was later expanded to a month-long observance in 1987 through a Congressional proclamation. This year, the Town of Apex is organizing several events to honor Women's History Month. Notable activities include "Tees & Tea for Women's History," featuring golf clinics led by Division 1 women's golf teams on March 4 and March 11, 2026, at Knights Play Golf Course. Additionally, a "Time for Tea" event on March 19, 2026, at the Apex Senior Center will offer attendees an opportunity to engage in jewelry-making and enjoy refreshments. The Town of Apex also promotes its Minority and Women Business Enterprises (MWBE) program, which supports minority and women-owned businesses by providing resources and a directory of services. This initiative aims to foster business growth and opportunities for historically underutilized enterprises within the community.

encourages studying the vital role women played in American history, culture,
and society. Women’s History Month began in 1981 when Congress authorized the
President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982, as “Women’s History
Week.” In 1987, Congress authorized the President to proclaim March of each
year as Women’s History Month.
