Dispatch 5/31/18--Hoosier Women Forward

Whether locally or nationally, record numbers of talented, qualified women are signing up as candidates. But as we have been reminded, there is still so much ground to cover. That is why the Indiana Democratic Party has launched Hoosier Women Forward. Hoosier Women Forward is a new political and civic leadership program designed to prepare Democratic women to assume a position of leadership in public service, is now accepting applications for their inaugural class. The deadline to apply is July 3rd. There is nothing more important than having your voice heard and using your talent for the betterment of your community and country. We hope you consider applying to this program: http://hoosierwomenforward.org/appl

DWC Breakfast

Friday, June 1st at 7:30 a.m.
Village Deli, Bloomington

The traditional DWC breakfast program after an election is to have DWC endorsed candidates speak about their experiences. You will get the scoop on their races, highlights of their efforts over the past 4 months, and hear how their association with the DWC affected their campaigns. Some of the questions that might be asked are: why they decided to run, who helped them make that decision, how they found folks to help them in their races and what they need from DWC members going forward.

Please come, bring a friend, AND WEAR ORANGE!
