Dear , Are you thinking about the November, 2011 ballot already? We're right there with you. This is turning out to be another packed election year with many familiar names -- and some less familiar -- and we'd like a chance to meet the contenders. Starting this month, SFWPC will transform our monthly happy hours into "Meet the Candidates" events, where you can still get together with all the political women you're looking forward to seeing, but also get to know this year's candidate lineup. You can find out about our candidate events on our Events page, which will be updated as events are finalized. Each candidate event will count toward your voting eligibility for the November 2011 endorsement, if you're a member in good standing, so make sure to sign in at all of our events and check in with our membership team to make sure your dues are paid. |
