House spotlights Maryland women and welcomes guests during Women’s History Month tribute
Summary
A delegate presented a Women’s History Month address highlighting Maryland women’s contributions, the chamber named delegates' birthplaces and recognized visiting groups including the Junior League of Annapolis and AFSCME Maryland Council 3; pages were introduced and the House adjourned until March 10.
During a special Women’s History Month presentation, a delegate identified as the delegate from Baltimore County highlighted Maryland women who shaped public life and public policy and conducted a roll call naming delegates’ places of birth.
The presentation named historical figures and local leaders—citing Mamie Todd’s work in child protection, Rachel Carson’s environmentalism, author Anne Tyler, pediatrician Dr. Prasanna Nair, and public servant Gloria Lawlah—and framed their work as part of Maryland’s civic legacy. The delegate asked colleagues to stand as she announced a roll call of delegates’ birthplaces, noting members born in other states and countries who now serve in Maryland’s legislature.
The chamber also recognized guests in the galleries, including the Junior League of Annapolis and members of AFSCME Maryland Council 3, and introduced nine pages by name who will assist during the session week. Several delegates made brief announcements about constituent events and caucus activities, including Foster Youth in Annapolis Day and caucus meetings scheduled for the following morning.
The session concluded when the Majority Leader moved to adjourn until Tuesday, March 10 at 10:00 a.m., after which members left for the evening.
