She Leads, We Rise: From Representation to Transformation

Plenary Session

On average, women have to be asked 7 times to run for office before they make the decision to do so. While the ambition to lead is evident, taking the next step often requires vocal support and encouragement. This powerhouse Fireside Chat with this year’s awardees will dive into why we push for equitable representation, how we can support rising women leaders, and the barriers we continue to face and dismantle.

Featured Speakers:

Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller, Maryland
Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng, Jefferson Parish, LA
