Which women from American History do you find most inspiring? That's the question we posed to some of our staff members as we are celebrating Women's History Month.

WHRO is a participant in Veterans Coming Home: Finding What Works, an initiative that is helping address and identify successful examples of veterans “Finding What Works” as they transition to civilian life. During National Women's Month, hear from three of our local female veterans.

WHRO’s CEO and President Bert Schmidt was recently elected as Professional Vice Chair of the board of America’s Public Television Stations.
