Become a liaison to advance women's equality
Leslie Sullivan, LWVJoCo's liaison to the Women's Equality Coalition (WEC) for several years, is taking a well-earned break. We need someone to step in and represent us in this important coalition.

This group is well connected, and the role is an excellent networking opportunity. Learn more about the coalition on their website or their Facebook page, and let Amber Stenger know if you're interested.
