The Women’s Forum congratulates two of its members for their success in this fall’s election:
They serve as role models for increasing the proportion of women in public service.
On October 28 and 29, Women’s Forum members and guests will gather to hear from Lucy T. Allen, member of the North Carolina Utilities Commission, on her experience as a member of one of NC’s “super boards” and other issues related to the Forum’s continued work to increase the number of women on boards and commissions. There’s also much more on the program.
