Today we celebrate Women's Equality Day, which commemorates the Aug. 26, 1920, passage of the 19th Amendment. We recognize that the struggle for comprehensive women’s voting rights lasted well beyond the passage of the 19th Amendment, and this observance day calls attention to women's continuing efforts toward full equality. At BPA, we foster a work culture grounded in safety, respect, equity, diversity and inclusion. #WomensEqualityDay
