For the seventh year, the Communications team highlighted women working in our government as part of our award-winning Women’s History Month photo series. The goal is to show the community just who is working behind the scenes to help our offices function day to day, while also showing these women they are important and vital to our operations.

From our first and only female mechanic and electrician, to our court system, our clerks, assistants, law enforcement, elected officials, and many more – we couldn’t operate without the unique contributions women bring to the table. This photo series puts each of them in the spotlight for a moment or two, and gives them the opportunity to share about what drives them, who inspires them, and what it means to be a woman.

“When I first pitched the idea of this campaign, I just wanted to show the community the breadth and depth of the humans who pour their hearts into their work. While that counts for most of our employees despite their gender – many of those people are women,” says Public Relations Specialist Rachel Gambill. “An outcome I didn’t expect, was seeing many of these women light up and smile when they see a nice photo of themselves, and strangers commenting online how grateful they are. This is about more than just government work – this is about morale and the human spirit. I’m so proud of our #TeamMaconBibb!”
