Celebrating International Women's Day with WIN

Posted by AEI-Brookings Redistricting Reform Project on Sunday, March 14, 2010

On March 8, International Women's Day, Emerge Global was invited to celebrate with the WIN Nonprofit Network in Washington, D.C. We've got quite a contingent in the D.C. area nowadays, and so this event was the perfect opportunity to introduce Emerge Global to the area. I sold jewelry with the help of Natalie, an Emerge Board member, Brittany, a WIN volunteer, and our newest Emerginista, Safia. I also gave a presentation about Emerge Global (my first Emerge presentation! I was quite nervous).

In addition to our gracious hosts, the WIN Nonprofit Network and the George Washington University Center for Excellence in Public Leadership, we were fortunate to have as a venue the historic Sewall-Belmont House, which was a very appropriate location, given the occasion.

WIN organized a great evening, with inspiring speeches by Sima Osdoby, Senior Partner of Global Concepts & Communications, and Kathy Korman Frey, the Chief Hot Mamma of the Hot Mammas Project. What a great way to introduce Emerge Global to Washington, D.C.!

A big thank you to the incredible women of WIN, George Washington University, the Sewall-Belmont House, and of course everyone who came to celebrate International Women's Day with Emerge Global!
