Together Women Rise Advocacy Chapter (August 2024)
On our August Together Women Rise Advocacy Chapter webinar, we heard reflections on advocacy and partnership from our very own Ken Patterson at his last webinar with us before his retirement. We also introduced the global nutrition campaign, and shared ways to prepare for August Recess and election season opportunities to meet with members of Congress and candidates on our issues.
