Women Leaders in Congress: Senior Congressional Staff

October 22, 2021

Join us for this inspiring and important conversation with women at the pinnacle of leadership in Congress. We will learn from these three incredible women who have served in top leadership positions in the Legislative Branch related to national security about career navigation, succeeding as a leader on the Hill, and reflections on how gender has impacted their careers.

Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH, 2011-2017) and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI, 2018-present) will provide opening remarks. Then we will kick off our panel with Wyndee Parker, Liz King and Jen Stewart, moderated by Shelly Stoneman.

We could not have produced this webinar without the wonderful support of our sponsor, BAE Systems!
