Perspectives – A Conversation with Women in Elected Office
Moderator and Member Katie Scott, Mayor Plymouth Marianne Akerland, Mayor Sutter Creek Claire Gunselman, Mayor Amador City Sandy Staples, State Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil
On October 26, 2024, the AAUW Amador Branch hosted an informative panel discussion with local leaders at Amador High School. The panel’s advice for those interested in community 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.
Want to start your career in public service? Apply for a vacancy on a public agency committee that interests you to see if it is something you enjoy. Hint: Sandy Staples noted that Amador City has a vacancy on its city council!
Many thanks to everyone involved. Special thank you to the staff and students of Amador High School.
