This is an important announcement about our 2016 Women’s Forum event:

Due to an unexpected scheduling conflict, Kelley Tuthill has had to postpone her commitment as this year’s keynote speaker.  

In her stead, we are pleased to welcome Emily Riemer, who has graciously volunteered to attend this year’s Women’s Forum event.

Please join us on October 16 as we welcome Emily to  Woburn and support new projects in the Woburn Public Schools!

During her distinguished career, Riemer has reported on a range of stories such as daily government and public policy stories covering topics such as legislative initiatives, election campaigns and the impact of budget cutbacks. Riemer secured an exclusive interview with Marc Dann, then Ohio’s embattled attorney general, on the eve of his resignation.
