Are you aware that September 22nd is known as “Business Women’s Day?” As a business owner, it may be nice to recognize all the ladies in the office.

Wondering where this national holiday came from? Allow our Connecticut insurance agency to give you a little insight…

The day marks the anniversary of the founding date of the American Business Women’s Association (ABWA). This association was founded on September 22 of 1949, but was not officially celebrated until 1983 (due to a joint Congressional resolution and the signature of Ronald Reagan.) In the year 2012, women are coming on top more than ever, from women running for presidency to being CEOs of huge corporations. Yes, our agency believes that this is a reason to celebrate!

So, how will you celebrate National Business Women’s Day in the office? Whether you recognize all the hard work that the women in the office put in each day or take them out for lunch, the girls are sure to appreciate the gesture.
