Perspectives of Women in Elected Offices
On October 26, the AAUW Amador Branch hosted an informative panel discussion with local women leaders at Amador High School. The panel’s advice for those interested in public service is as follows, 1) have a passion for problem solving and your community, 2) enjoy helping people, 3) have a great deal of patience to see you through many obstacles, and 4) be a good listener.
