LEADING LOCALLY
Celebrating How Women Shape Democracy from the Ground Up – A Women’s History Month Webinar with Ambassador Nina Hachigian | Thursday, March 21, 2024 (Noon - 1:00 p.m.)

Please join NYCOM’s Women’s Advisory Committee (WAC) for our Second Annual Women's History Month webinar in celebration of the remarkable contributions of women leaders to local democracy. For this empowering session, we are honored to host Ambassador Nina Hachigian, a distinguished diplomat and passionate advocate for gender equality, as she shares her insights and experiences on how women shape democratic processes from the ground up.

Ambassador Hachigian is the first U.S. Special Representative for City and State Diplomacy. In this role she seeks to bring benefits to, and learn from, local leaders in the United States, and connect them to counterparts around the world.

From community activism to political representation, women leaders are instrumental in fostering inclusive governance, championing human rights, and driving sustainability and climate responsiveness. Drawing from her career and dedication to democracy, climate resiliency, and women's empowerment, Ambassador Hachigian will explore the unique perspectives and approaches that women bring to leadership positions that help them build resilient and responsive communities.

Through questions posited by members of the WAC, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by women leaders in their pursuit of a more equitable and participatory democracy.

Whether you're a seasoned advocate for gender equality or simply curious about the intersection of women's leadership and democracy, this webinar promises to be an inspiring and thought-provoking discussion.

Don't miss this opportunity to engage with Ambassador Nina Hachigian and fellow participants in a dynamic conversation on the transformative power of women's leadership in advancing democratic principles from the local government level.

This webinar is FREE to NYCOM Members. The cost for Non-Members to participate is $50 per registration.
