On this panel commemorating local political trailblazer Martha Pennino, we will consider how women come to power, the nature of their accomplishments, and the significance of closing the gender gap at this historic juncture.
Join us for a timely discussion of Gender Equity and Inclusion in Public Office – the first in a planned annual series named for Martha Pennino, one of the longest serving members of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, whose tenure began in 1967 after having served on the Vienna Town Council and as Vice Mayor.
Join us for a public reception in the Art Gallery following the panel.
