Making Democracy Work: Fundraiser Luncheon Honoring Former Congressional Representative Pat Schroeder

We invite you and your guests to join us as we honor the iconic 12-term U.S. Representative Pat Schroeder, tireless champion for reproductive and women's rights, workplace reforms, and the rights of families and members of the U.S. military. Ms. Schroeder is the luncheon's featured speaker and will be presented with our second "Making Democracy Work" award.

Schroeder, the first woman from Colorado elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, demonstrated the success of combining a demanding career with raising her children, and battled the deeply entrenched beliefs held by some of her colleagues that work and politics "is no place for a woman."

Don't miss this exciting opportunity to hear Ms. Schroeder and to connect, or reconnect, with League members and supporters!

Our luncheon will be preceded by the League's annual business meeting, where the membership will conduct the business of the League: review the bylaws, approve the budget, and elect its officers for the new year. We will also hear about the year in review, and the outcome of the recent planning meeting to determine this year's program.
