The Montgomery County Commission for Women and our many co-sponsoring organizations invite you to the 2014 Women's Legislative Briefing.

Registration begins at noon with light refreshments, and the conference will open with a keynote address followed by a panel discussion on Women's Issues in Congress. Compelling seminars on legislation in the Maryland General Assembly will fill out the afternoon.

New This year: special seminars will be offered for students in grades 8 - 12, accompanied by a parent or chaperone. (The program we anticipate using will be built around a documentary rated for ages 13 and up by Common Sense Media and TV Parental Guidelines.)

A reception will conclude the event providing an opportunity to meet with county and state elected officials, advocates and representatives of the most prominent county, state and national women's organizations.

Registration: $15 in advance $20 at the door
