Women's Agenda Assembly

Submitted by OP Editors on September 22, 2010 - 8:55pm

Date: 

Thursday, October 28, 2010 - 2:00pm to 4:30pm

Location: 

New Hope Camp and Conference Center, 4805 NC 86

 

The Women's Agenda Assembly is a forum for women's issues in our county. Our objective is to discuss four main issues: access to health care, civic participation and equality, economic self-sufficiency, and violence against women. Please register to hear about these issues and discuss them with your peers!

A statewide nonprofit, NC Women United, drafts a general women's agenda with detailed policy proposals for each installment of the forums, and coordinators and committee members plan assemblies at the local level. We recommend that you take a look at the Draft Agenda prior to the assembly.

 

We are still looking for volunteers for this event! We have the following needs:

  • Facilitators: Guide discussion among groups of 10 (training provided!)
  • Scribes: Record discussion from small groups.
  • Registration: Help set up the event and check in participants.
