Ready to Run program coming to Auburn March 10
The Ready to Run program is coming to Auburn's campus on March 10 and will give women who are considering a run in office the tools and training to make the attempt a successful one. Ready to Run is a nonpartisan program for women who want to run for office, seek higher office, work in a campaign or position themselves for other types of public leadership. The Women's Leadership Institute in the College of Liberal Arts is teaming up with the American Association of University Women (AAUW) to provide this one-day intensive training session. According to AAUW, Alabama has no women in the United States Congress and there are only five women serving in statewide elected executive positions. AAUW will provide scholarships to 10 women who would like to attend. The scholarship covers the $39 fee for materials. There are no other costs associated with this session. To apply for one of the scholarships, e-mail Audrey Salgado at audrey5190@yahoo.com. The session will be held in room 502, the Alabama Power Room, of the Lowder Business Building and will begin at 8:30 a.m. For more information about this one-day event, contact Martina Janska at janska@auburn.edu.
