>> women, area non-profit leaders, community members and college
>> professors. As a non-profit grass roots organization our mission is to

>> Since our first meetings after November 2nd, 2004, our group has
>> created an organizational structure, focused on Strengths, Weaknesses,
>> Opportunities and Weaknesses, and co-hosted an annual Women’s Equality
>> Day Event in Moorhead.

>> Women’s Political Action would like to meet with you to discuss the
>> next steps our organization should take to build influence,
>> membership, and support in our communities, as well as strategies for
>> screening and assisting candidates. Kate Olsen, a former member of
>> WPA, met your briefly in Minneapolis and suggested we contact you for
>> advice and direction with our group.
