2023 INSPIRE Women’s Engagement Initiative
Thank you for a WONDERFUL event last night! Our amazing panelists shared how they got their political start and inspired us to step up and get involved.
We heard an inspirational testimony from Aubrey Tuell, who shared her story and encouraged us to support the next generation of conservative women.
It was a fabulous night of socializing, delicious appetizers, and encouraging discussion, all while surrounded by incredible conservative women who came together to learn from and support each other. The event was dedicated to the Loving Memory of County Commissioner Deb Hays. She inspired women by being a selfless public servant and faithful friend.
A HUGE thank you to all of our panelists who traveled from all over NC to join us, the ladies who volunteered and helped put together the event, and everyone who joined us. We appreciate you!
