Empowering Women in Political Leadership

On February 22, 2025 we had over 60 women (and some men) attend our panel discussion – on empowering women in political leadership. We started the discussions at 9:30 am and went straight through to noon! We all learned a lot, and were inspired to hold more of these events in the future – contact us if you are interested in participating in future sessions. Election 2026 is on the horizon and we want to help you prepare if you decide to put your name on the ballot. Thank you to everyone who attended and who cares about gender equity!

Thank you to media for great coverage on this important issue!
