A few weeks ago, the Pennsylvania Woman’s Campaign Fund announced a new partnership with She Should Run and the Woman’s Campaign Fund (formally, Woman’s Campaign Forum). To celebrate this new union, current PWCF Board President, Jennifer Reiner, Past President Martha Harris and I traveled to Washington, DC for the She Should Run kick-off event.
The evening reception began with a welcome by She Should Run President and CEO, Siobhan “Sam” Bennett. She was followed by remarks from leading feminist such as Feminist Majority Foundation President, Eleanor Smeal and NOW President, Terri O’Neill. Their energy and passion for improving government by empowering progressive women to win elections ignited a fervent dialogue about advancing woman’s public leadership.
This event was a great way for us to support our friends working on the national level and make connections and build momentum for our own campaign training coming up in January of 2012. We look forward to working with She Should Run to bring more women into political leadership in November 2012.
