Have you registered yet for the OK Women's Coalition event June 10?

What a month this has been for the Oklahoma Women's Coalition! We started the month with a board meeting filled with decisions to move this 9-month old organization forward. We are up to 20 Organizational Members and over 100 Individual Members.

The next week, we held our first fundraiser and 75+ women came including Lt. Gov Jari Askins, Rep Lee Denney, Insurance Commissioner Kim Holland and lots of other stellar women. Former State Rep. Susan Winchester and Women's Foundation of Oklahoma advisory board chair Claudia San Pedro spoke on why Oklahoma needs this Coalition. (Hint: Oklahoma ranks 48th in the nation on the status of its women and girls.)

The next week, the board participated in a full-day strategic planning session led by David Woods, CEO of GiANT Partners at GiANT's worldwide headquarters in Edmond - a very fruitful investment of time!

Now we are racing towards our first Annual Business Meeting on June 10 at the Oklahoma History Center. The afternoon begins with business but then there is a panel of experts on aging, incarceration and violence against women AND a Legislative wrap up by Senator Debbe Leftwich and Rep Lee Denney. Oh, and ending with a fabulous networking reception that will serve as dinner for you out-of-towners planning to attend. This event is for Coalition members - but the registration fee of $40 includes a year's membership. So LADIES - why haven't you registered for our June 10 event yet?
