LESSONS FROM THE WINNING WOMEN OF TEXAS WITH ANNIE’S LIST ROYCE BROOKS
Royce Brooks has worked with many of the women who are breaking records in Texas. 2018 saw a record number of Democratic women elected to the Texas House and a record number of women in the Texas Senate. In fact, the 2018 incoming Texas House freshman class has more Democratic women than Republican men.

She will share what makes women such effective progressive leaders and help the audience think through ways they want to lead and how others have made these decisions..
