Celebrating our Fierce and Fearless
Women Chiefs of Staff in the CA Legislature
California Women Lead's 2020 Winter Reception took place on Monday, February 10th at the Sheraton Grand in Sacramento, and it was truly a night to remember! Over 250 guests joined us to celebrate our honorees and help launch CWL's 2020 campaign: "The Future is Female. The Future is Now." Check out some of the highlights below.
These Chiefs of Staff get it done, working tirelessly behind the scenes and valiantly on the front lines. They are truly the backbone of the members they support and the districts they represent. Cheers to these phenomenal women!

CA Women Lead's board of directors kicked off the night welcoming honorees, sponsors, and guests.
Each of our honorees was invited to bring a mentee to share in this special evening. Many brought young women from their legislative offices, students -- and even some family members. 

The evening's attendees also included CWL members, some familiar elected faces from the Capitol, and guests of our sponsoring partners.
CA Women Lead was thrilled to have local artist Franceska Gamez design beautiful, one-of-a-kind prints for each of our honorees.
