Despite the fact that women have made inroads as public officials, we are still far from achieving parity. Join other South Coast women to explore why we need women in elected office and the realities of why few women choose to run. You’ll hear about important research, have a chance to meet with, and hear stories of, local women who have run for office and those who hold or have held office. You’ll also be among the first to learn about a new effort to support and prepare South Coast women to serve in public or elected positions. Join us for this important conversation! Bring along a woman you think should run for office!
