SUA Centennial Greetings from Four Remarkable Slovenian Women

The Slovenian Union of America was honored to receive special video greetings for its 100th anniversary from four remarkable women of Slovenian heritage whose achievements and leadership have earned international recognition. Representing government, public service, and space exploration, their messages added a special distinction to our Centennial celebration.

Marie Prisland, who founded the Slovenian Women’s Union of America in 1926, would surely have been proud. A century later, these accomplished women reflect the enduring strength, talent, and spirit of Slovenian women around the world.
