2013 OneVoice Educational Forum Series

We are excited to introduce the OWC OneVoice Free Educational Forums in 2013. Our issue committees are working hard with committee members and OWC Coalition Partners to hold forums throughout the state in order to help educate the public on issues affecting women and girls. It is our goal to not only spread awareness on these issues, but for participants to leave with action items that will enable them to become part of the solution.
