First let me to say that this blog post is WAY overdue. My apologies for that. Things have been running a little bit crazy with family and work.
DAWN’s List (Democratic Activist Women’s Network) held an Iowa Women’s Summit in Des Moines on March 28. (Told you this post was long overdue!) The keynote speaker for the event was Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (pictured to the right). There were also a host of Democratic women who serve in the state legislature and on local councils, boards and commissions present.
The photo at the top is of one of the panels — women elected to office — that was moderated by former Lt. Gov. Sally Pedersen. A second panel — women in informal groups — was also available for questions and answers.
Because the spring is such a busy time, I attended the event armed with a list of questions from women who could not attend. Since returning, I’ve had others contact me with additional questions and also just for my general thoughts about the organization as well as the happenings at the Summit. I’m going to attempt to answer as many as I can.
Other event attendees who want to expand upon any of my answers or who just want add their own thoughts are more than welcome to leave a comment.
