My firm, Control Point Group, was beyond thrilled to host
the DNC’s Women’s Leadership Forum yesterday evening to get more young women
involved in the WLF.
I had the fabulous honor of introducing Amy Dacey, the DNC’s
Executive Director, who had spoken at WGR’s “Frontline Females Make It Happen”
PACs, Politics, and Grassroots Conference last month on a rock star opening panel
I helped coordinate. What a force she is!
It was beyond exhilarating to have esteemed Democratic
divas, like Carol Pensky, Christine Bennett, Edda Collins Coleman, Anatasia
Dellaccio, Jo Ousterhout, Shaundra Patterson-Strachan, Alfreda Robinson, Stephanie
Schlatter, and of course, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, next to several
new faces and just feel the energy and excitement about WLF and the upcoming
2016 cycle.
I must repeat my opening remarks in hopes that those of you
who couldn’t make it yesterday will read this: While we all love investing in
our wardrobes and closets, the most important investment we can make as women
is by supporting women running for political office and investing in WLF. Those
Jimmy Choo’s are going to have to wait, because we’re choosing to invest in our
future by investing in women running for office and WLF.
