12/13/2018 Join NWPC LA Westside to Celebrate the Holidays, Elect New Officers and Congratulate NWPC CA President-Elect Karriann Farrell Hinds

LET'S CELEBRATE!

You canvassed, you made phone calls, you sent text messages, you gave money, and you showed up to usher in this new wave of women leaders. Now it is time to celebrate our accomplishments and plan for the future. Please join us on Thursday, December 13, 2018 as we elect the 2019-2020 NWPC LA Westside Board Officers and Members, celebrate the 2018 elections, and celebrate the election of NWPC LA Westside member Karriann Farrell Hinds as the incoming President of NWPC California. 

This year, we're doing something a little different in honor of all these wonderful achievements. You can purchase a ticket to attend the Holiday Party, or, to help us prepare for the next Election Cycle (where we look to extend the Pink Wave, maybe into the White House!), consider becoming a sponsor by making a contribution to the NWPC LA Westside PAC.
