Using the Library of Congress as a point of reference, through our Heritage Months, we recognize the history and contributions of various cultures by providing education and context as well as employee recognition, deeply rooted in storytelling around food, family, and tradition.
In 1981, Congress authorized and requested the president to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982 as “Women’s History Week.” Throughout the next five years, Congress continued to pass joint resolutions designating a week in March as “Women’s History Week.” After years of petitioning by the National Women’s History Project, Congress designated the month of March 1987 as “Women’s History Month.” Every president since has proclaimed March as such. Our theme for Women’s History Month 2024 is “Empowered Women, Empower Women.” (Source: womenshistorymonth.gov)

“I have had the opportunity to work with many inspirational women within Wegmans. I have been able to take pieces from each of them as I continue to learn and grow my career at Wegmans. Chrystina V. has been a mentor to me since I was a part-time coordinator on the front end and has continued to be a mentor to me, whether it was to lend a listening ear or to advise me. She has always been there for me in my professional development as well as in my personal life. She has taught me how to lead by example and to be a leader who listens and cares with intent. Chrystina taught me the importance of being there for employees and building relationships rooted in trust and respect. She has always pushed me outside of my comfort zone and was always there for me if I had any questions. I am grateful for Chrystina’s encouragement, support, guidance, and mentorship.”

“After a number of years, I had the opportunity to work with Tanisha L-S. again. During this time, I was able to witness several admirable qualities that stuck with me. Tanisha always provided the same level of care, respect, and thoughtful honesty for each employee no matter their title or the situation they were dealing with. Tanisha was always willing to share knowledge to help others be better. Tanisha has an innate ability to empathize with others, allowing her to build and sustain several relationships. I knew that Tanisha made an impact on others not only because of what I witnessed and experienced, but also when others shared how they felt about their interactions with Tanisha. Tanisha was always there to provide me with support on employee situations and provide relatable advice on a personal level. I appreciate and respect Tanisha for who she is, how she treats people, and her ability to consistently stand up for what is right for others. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to work with her and learn from her!”
