SER National Honors Women’s History Month 2025, Recognizing the Power of Women in Shaping America’s Workforce and Economy
As the nation comes together to celebrate Women’s History Month 2025, SER National proudly recognizes the profound contributions of women across all sectors of the U.S. workforce. This year’s theme, “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations,” is a powerful reminder of women’s role in shaping industries, driving economic growth, and fostering innovation in the modern workplace.
“Women in the workforce are more than contributors—they are architects of progress, building our nation’s economic foundation through their knowledge, skills, and leadership,” said Ignacio Salazar, President and CEO of SER National. “From assembly lines to executive boardrooms, women are advancing industries, strengthening economies, and setting new standards of excellence.”
The SER Network of Affiliates recognizes that women have long been a driving force behind America’s prosperity, and their role in the workforce continues to expand; over 55% of the SER affiliates have a woman as leader. They are decision-makers, entrepreneurs, contributors, and bring unique skills and expertise that fuel productivity and strengthen the U.S. economy.
Latina, Indigenous women, and other women of color have been at the forefront of economic and social progress, demonstrating resilience, creativity, and leadership in workplaces nationwide. Despite facing systemic barriers and pay disparities, they continue to elevate industries, drive innovation, and inspire new generations of professionals.
Women of color represent nearly 20% of the U.S. workforce, yet they remain underrepresented in leadership positions. Latina women, for example, are among the fastest-growing demographic in entrepreneurship, owning nearly 2.5 million businesses in the U.S. generating significant economic contributions while creating jobs and opportunities (U.S. Census Bureau). Their ability to adapt, lead, and innovate continues to shape the future of business and community development.
“Our nation’s workforce is at its strongest when it reflects the diversity, talents, and aspirations of all Americans,” said Salazar. “We must commit to ensuring that women—especially Latinas, Indigenous women, and women of color—are empowered to advance, lead, and shape the future of every industry. Their perspectives are essential, their expertise is indispensable, and their contributions are transformative.”
La Familia de SER believes that championing women’s economic empowerment is an aspiration and an imperative. As we move forward in 2025 and beyond, businesses, policymakers, and communities must commit to creating work environments that support equal pay, professional development, and leadership opportunities for women at every level.
“This Women’s History Month, let us reaffirm our commitment to fostering a future where every woman’s talent is recognized, her leadership is valued, and her success is celebrated,” said Salazar. “Together, we can build an economy that reflects the strength, ingenuity, and limitless potential of women across America.”
