As a State Leadership Council Chair, I bring women together to take part in civil dialogue about public policy. I convene and facilitate roundtable discussions centered around fact-based policy briefs to empower women to learn, connect and engage on the issues that matter to our community. In doing so, I lead women in my circle to build their confidence to share their voice and to become more involved in the public policy decision-making process.

Work together on a team with the goal of electing targeted candidates to local, state and national office through communication outreach, special events and door-to-door canvassing.
