October Women’s Forum Luncheon

Patton Boggs Women’s Forum is hosting Running Start’s “Path to Politics.”  October’s program is one in a series of seminars being presented throughout the year.  The panel will discuss “The Importance of Running and Losing.”  Running Start is an organization that brings young women to politics so that they are knowledgeable about the process, invested in the outcome, and interested in participating as elected leaders. Their programs educate the public about young women’s unique role in politics and the importance of getting more young women engaged and involved in politics. By educating young women and girls about the importance of politics, and imbuing them with the skills they need to be leaders, we will give women the “running start” they need to achieve greater political power. With an earlier start in politics, women will climb higher on the leadership ladder, allowing more women to share in the decision making power of this country.
