San Francisco, CA 06/17/10 - The 6th Annual Emerge Fundraiser was a big success. The event took place at the beautiful Merchants Exchange Building. The room was full of great women -and men- and everybody walked out with inspiring and empowering messages.
Arianna Huffington, Author, Columnist & Founder of the Huffington Post was the guest speaker. Her humor and wisdom enlighten us all. Christine Pelosi, daughter of current Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Speaker pro Tempore Assemblywoman Fiona Ma and 2010 Woman of the Year Andrea Dew Steele, Founder & President of Emerge America were among the attendees.
Emerge is a political leadership training program for Democratic women, inspiring them to run for office and honoring their skills to win. Their goal is to increase the number of Democratic women in public office.
I was delighted to attend the event as a guest of Fiona Ma. The evening was definitely one to remember.
