2001: CAWP convenes the fifth and final national Forum f

CAWP convenes the fifth and final national Forum for Women State Legislators in Dana Point, California. Hundreds of women state legislators gathered just two months after the September 11th attack. In the opening letter to participants we wrote, “While we always expected the Forum to be a time to explore the prospects for our democracy, that task seems even more urgent to us now. In particular, this meeting affords us a chance to reaffirm the importance of women’s voices in leadership at this critical moment in our nation’s history.”
