Gathering PlaceJoin our CEO, Lauren Jessop, as she leads an important civic-minded conversation with three local community builders.
With a municipal election on the way later this year, now is the time to get engaged with your community and work to create the change you want to see. In this lively panel discussion, we'll sit down with three local women who made the commitment to become political changemakers. We'll discuss:
- What they see as the challenges and opportunities for women in politics
- Stories from the campaign trail and what motivated them to seek office
- Tips and information for those who want to pursue their own political path
Panelists will Include:
- Jennifer Armstrong - Co-Founder of Politics for Women; Honorary Colonel, Canadian Forces Base Borden
