Another very delayed post! ๐Ÿ˜…

It took me 8๏ธโƒฃ months to write about HOT Community Working Group's #InternationalWomensDay ๐Ÿ’œ and #OpenMappingWomenAwards ๐Ÿ† 2024 initiatives. I just need to write it! It's one of my favorite things I get to do with HOT CommunityWG. ๐Ÿ˜

I hope that we continue celebrating and recognizing women in our community! โœŠ
