Elected women from across the country will gather in Oklahoma City for NFWL’s Annual Conference to identify effective solutions to some of the nation’s most timely and pressing issues. Providing a non-partisan environment that encourages dialogue and the sharing of information and experiences, women leaders are able to build coalitions, share the concerns of their constituents, and identify out-of-the-box solutions to the most pressing issues facing their communities today.
Representative Pam Peterson, NFWL’s State Director, said “This is the first time NFWL has had their annual conference in the central part of the United States, and we’re thrilled they chose Oklahoma.” She went on to say, “This is a great opportunity to network with elected women from across the country to share and discuss policy ideas.”
