August Meeting Wednesday, August 3, 2011
Topic: 50-50 in 2020 Speaker: Monica Vernon Mayor pro tem for Cedar Rapids, District 2 representative for the Cedar Rapids City Council, and Chair of the Council's Community Development Committee.
Although Iowa women make up 53% of the registered voters and turn out in higher percentages than men, only 22.6% of the seats in the Iowa Legislature are held by women, and Iowa has never elected a female governor nor sent a woman to Washington as U.S. Senator or U.S. Representative.
Join us as Monica Vernon shares how political equity impacts each of us, and how this goal can be accomplished.
