(Career Progress) Join us tonight for a "How to Elect More Women" Panel Discussion and Networking Happy Hour

Hello,

I want to invite you to the Arlington Young Democrats Women's Caucus event this evening on the subject matter of best strategies for electing more women representatives.

What: "How to Elect More Women" Panel Discussion and Networking Happy Hour

 

When: Wednesday, July 23^rd 5:30-630 pm

5:30-6:30 pm Networking Happy Hour. Free Appetizers Provided.

6:30-8:30 pm Panel Discussion with Q and A

 

Who: Panelists include:

Where: Café Asia: 1550 Wilson Blvd #100, Arlington, VA 22209

Metro: Rosslyn (Orange and Blue line) Parking: Available on street and in Café Asia garage for $3

 

Why: It's more than evident, we need to elect more women in this country and we need to do it now. The United States ranks 98th in the world in number of women in our national legislature. At this panel we will ask our panelist about best strategies in order to elect more women at both the state and national level. We will learn about the barriers that exist and how to combat them.

 

Right now there are 335 state legislative leaders, and just 60 of them are women, a total of 17.9 percent. In Virginia, only 17% of its legislative body is represented by women, compared to states like Colorado and Vermont where 41% of their legislative bodies are represented by women. Virginia leads states like Louisiana, Oklahoma and South Carolina, which currently have the least diverse gender representation at 13% but none of this is acceptable for the 21st century.

 

Join us this Wednesday, July 23^rd to socialize, ask our panelist questions, and learn about organizations that work to elect more women such as Planned Parenthood and Naral Pro-Choice.

 

Point of Contact: For questions contact AYD Outreach Director Michelle Woods at Outreach@ArlingtonYoungDems.org
