Ready to Run

Chris Janke, author The Well Spoken Woman

Enjoyed the day immensely. The information essential..good straight conversation on what it takes to run for office. I invite women to start now writing checks to support women in office. Our donations are essential to opening the doors to good women running and winning office.

Enjoyed the day..and the speakers were very good. Panel of Erin, Molchany, Nancy Patton Mills, Megan Carpenter and  Diana Irey Vaughan was exceptional. Loved the session on Conquering the Camera by Chris Jahnke. Thanks Dana Brown for moderating this...And Jann Chirdon as always right on information. Good to see Jeanne Clark there also.

It was great to see fundraisers and volunteers, campaign managers and candidates and just those who wanted to learn about the process of running for office all alongside each other eager to learn.  There was great networking and all speakers were very interested in reaching out and extending themselves to the attendees.

Hats off to the Pa Center for Women in Politics.
