Women
and the Political Process - Creating Momentum for Future
Leaders
This
insightful and practical workshop on how
to gain entry into politics and navigate the political process
was held in June 2007 at the Tate Center, College of
Charelston. Participants got to hear from experienced professionals who work
on political campaigns and from women who have successfully
run for office. Workshops included: the Fundamentals of Running
a Campaign, Pathways into Politics, Fundraising, and Crafting
Your Message. Keynote speaker
was Inez Tenenbaum. As Superintendent of
Education, Inez was the sole woman elected at the state level
from 1998 to 2006. During her political career, Inez has run
for Lieutenant Governor and ran for U.S. Senate in 2004.
