It is with great excitement that I announce that Rep. Anne Gannon has agreed to be the key note speaker at our first Leon County Young Democrats Forum. Rep. Gannon is going to share with us what brought her into Democratic Politics, how she has seen the role of women change in Democratic Politics since she first got involved and what her vision is to get more more young women involved in the political process. She will also share with us what role the her vision of what the Young Democrats can and should be.
Representative Gannon was the Statewide Co-Chair of the Mississippi Young Democrats (1977-1979). She has been where we are today, recruiting Young Democrats to get involved, and active with the day to day inner works of a YD Chapter.
Since 2000 she has been serving as a State Representative, where she has been recognized as one of the best Representatives of women in politics. A few of her awards for her support of women and children's rights include: Planned Parenthood's Friend of Roe Award; Florida National Organization for Women, Women's Equality Day Award; Florida Women's Political Caucus, Rep. Elaine Gordon Award for Advocacy for Women and Children's Rights and she was on the Center for Women's Policy Studies National Honor Roll of State Legislators.
I know I am excitedied to hear what Representative Gannon will share with us this Tuesday evening.
I hope to see you there! Show up early if you would like good seats and if you are planning on odering dinner.
