Date: Sun, Jun 14 2009 10:46 pm

This Thursday (June 18), the 20th annual Women Opening Doors for Women

your dream job in DC.
The evening begins with a networking reception at the AFL-CIO,
featuring keynote speaker Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz
(FL-20). Doors open at 5:30 pm and the event, open to men and women,
features wine, hors d’oeuvres, and raffle prizes. Immediately
following the reception, attendees (women only – sorry guys!) will
disperse to dinner parties (that’s right — DINNER!) at homes and
offices across the DC area, based on pre-selected topics.
Among the speakers at the various dinners:
* Strategists Liz Chadderdon and Gaea Honeycutt (Dinner: “Achieving
Work/Life Balance: A Beautful Career, A Beautiful Life”)

and Congressional Affairs, US Department of Education; Bethany Little,

Direction of Education Policy”)

University Women (AAUW) (Dinner: “Bush is Gone. Finally! What Now for
Progressives? “)

Program for Conservation International (Dinner: “Women, Leadership,
and Environmental Policy: How Women Are Helping to Shape Our Green
Future”)

Project; Charlotte Brody, Director of Commonwealth (Dinner: “‘Choice’
in a Post-Roe v. Wade Era”)

Domestic Violence; Sharon Pearce, Policy Director for Girl Scouts of
the USA (Dinner: “Obama: Feminist Superstar?)

Foundation of America (Dinner: “Every Penny Counts: Fundraising in a
Challenging Economy”)
* Colleen Gallopin, policy manager for Break the Cycle (Dinner:
“Making a Difference: Ways You Can Join the Fight Against Domestic
Violence”)

Still not sure? Your dinner could feature:
* Two hours with a self-defense expert (Dinner: “Holla Back DC!
Fighting Gender Based Sexual Harassment”)
* Two-hour healthy cooking class (Dinner: “‘Washingtonian Syndrome’:
How to Combat Fatigue, Obesity, and Budget Blues with ‘Whole’ Foods”)
* Secrets only a pollster can tell you (Dinner: “Unlocking Voters’
Secrets: How to Conduct Public Opinion Research on Hot Button Issues”)
* Money advice from a trustworthy financial advisor (Dinner: “How to
Put Your Best Financial Food Forward”)
* Everything you EVER wanted to know from a professional sex educator
(Dinner: “The Big O: The Psychology, Physiology, and Politics Behind
the Female Orgasm”)

Washingtonian Magazine has called WODW “one of Washington’s best
networking events.” Tickets are a bargain at $40 for WIN members, $45
for non-members, $35 for interns and $70 for a WIN membership/WODW
Ticket combination.
This a steal for a night of networking, dinner, wine and an inspiring
speech by a member of Congress!
