Participants, board members, AU WeLEAD alumnae and guests heard from the Women & Politics Institute's Interim Director, Dr. Barbara Palmer, and the Co-Chairs of the Young Women Leaders Board, Sarah Flowers and Kelly Bulliner Holly. Founder and Director of the Women & Politics Institute, Dr. Karen O'Connor, also shared her words of encouragement to the new generation of WeLEADers and her thanks to all those who contribute their time and resources to this program, without whom WeLEAD would not be possible.
For most of the evening, when I was not enthralled in conversation with the new WeLEAD participants and the programs alumnae, I was absorbed by the spectacular view of the Capitol Building, just yards away.
