Tue, Jun 12th, 6:30-9pm, Women Supporting Women in Local Government

Are you interested in seeing more women ‘run’ for local office? Join us to find out what it takes to run for local government and how women can support other women in local government leadership.  The session will include presentations from Davina (City) and Wendy (Regional District) discussing what the nuts and bolts of running for office, a panel of former politicians (still to be announced) and a key note from Josie Osborne – the amazing Mayor of Tofino.   We are hoping to fill the room with women who want to support other women in running for office and women who are considering running from office.
