After previously postponing his annual Women’s Conference in October due to the government shutdown, Rep. Don Beyer today announced that he will be hosting his Ninth Annual Women’s Conference: The Ripple Effects of Resilience on Thursday, January 15 at George Mason University’s new Fuse building in Arlington.
The program will feature a discussion with Brooke Sydnor Curran, founder of Move2Learn; Lisa Jacobs, Executive Director of the Alexandria Tutoring Consortium; Elizabeth Jones Valderrama, Executive Director of Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR); and Ana Dionne-Lanier, Attorney at the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights. The discussion will be moderated by Nyree Wright, Executive Vice President of Crisis & Risk Communications at Edelman. Beyer will also present this year’s Clara Mortenson Beyer Women and Children First Award.
The event is free to the public but capacity is limited, so attendees are encouraged to register online here.
