ElectHer In Partnership with AGS Presents the Women for Women Conference
Join us this week as we partner with Elect Her, an organization set up to put in the work of getting more women into elected offices to proffer the change we need.
“Still in commemoration of International Women’s Month, ElectHER in partnership with AGS Tribe @AGSTribe and African Women on Board @awb.network will be hosting a first of its kind experiential women’s conference themed “Women for Women Conference; partnering for Parity”, aimed at amplifying women’s leadership across business, the private and public sector.
The conference will also launch a first-of-its-kind collaborative fund, as part of the Agender35 campaign, to advance women’s political leadership ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Like the saying goes 'When women come together, amazing things happen.
Strictly by invitation due to covid restrictions, but open to all via live streaming...
Yesssss!!!! Let’s do this 🏾”
