About this Webinar

The Alice Paul Institute invites you to join us for a special virtual event as we reflect on our vibrant history and share our vision for the future. The highlight of the Our Foundation, Our Future event will be honoring the dedicated leadership of recent Board Chair Linda Coppinger, as she and API's Executive Director Lucy Bear introduce our guests to Deirdre Webster Cobb, our newly appointed Board Chair.

Guests will also hear from several dynamic members of API's Girls Leadership Council as they share with you why their involvement with API means to them.

We are very thankful that members of Impact100 South Jersey, a new supporter, will join us to share details about their financial support.
