Women in Leadership - March 2007
The "leading ladies" at the 2007 Women in Leadership event.
In March 2007, Womentum hosted a sell-out “Women in Leadership” lunch and panel discussion at the Rendezvous Bistro in Jackson. The featured speaker was Marie C. Wilson, who has been a leading advocate for women’s issues for the past 30 years. In 1998, she founded and became president of The White House Project. One of this organization’s most innovative programs is “Vote, Run, Lead,” which provides a roadmap for addressing the issues she raises in her book, Closing the Leadership Gap: Why Women Can and Must Help Run the World.
Other panelists included Wyoming First Lady Nancy Freudenthal, Wyoming Supreme Court Justice Marilyn Kite, Gov. Dave Campaign Field Coordinator Katie Freudenthal, and Jackson Town Councilwoman Melissa Turley.
