Join this energetic panel discussion to hear from women in politics in and around the La Crosse, WI area as they discuss their experiences running for and serving in elected offices.
Topics will include navigating barriers related to gender, basic knowledge and experience needed to make an informed decision on whether to run for office, how activists and organizers on the local level can encourage gender diversity in politics, and advice for those marginalized by gender who are considering running for office.
