Janine Fondon is an Assistant Professor and Chair of Communications at Bay Path University, and one of the conveners of the March 8 “On the Move Forum” that honors our collective intention to advance women — from Seneca Falls to Houston for the 1977 Women’s Conference and now Longmeadow, MA. The 1977 Conference official photographer Diana Mara Henry will also be at the forum, to be held at Blake Commons at Bay Path. The purpose is to dialogue, inspire action, and educate the next generation– all to salute those legacy leaders who pledged to advance women some 40 years ago and recognize those who continue the work today.

Julissa Colón, Ticina Cotto, Jocelyn López, Caila Lourdes Ver, Alora Machuca, Priscilla Page, Jovan Roman and Nathalie Vicencio declaimed as if they were the authors of every word. A magical night at the Leslie Phillips Theater at HCC.
