On Tuesday, March 8th, we tabled in the Rotunda at Cleveland City Hall on behalf of [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-1″] where a panel discussion, composed of officials from the City of Cleveland, took place in honor of International Women’s Day.
The theme of the discussion was “Designing Cities for Women” and the participants were Ms. Joyce Huang, Director of City Planning; Ms. Sonya Pryor Jones, Chief of Youth and Family Success; Ms. Sally Martin, Director of Building and Housing; and Ms. Alyssa Hernandez, Director of Community Development, who also acted as moderator.

Mayor Bibb also paid tribute to the “amazing sponsors” of International Women’s Month including Ms. [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-1″].
