broken barriers in her career and actively engaged with WGR in her first term
of Congress. Amanda Armistead from Amazon spoke next to share some words
about Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada. Armistead shared how the
Congresswoman has been a long-time supporter of WGR throughout her time in
Congress and her continued commitment to empowering women. WGR

WGR would like to thank the Embassy of Canada for co-hosting the
reception in their beautiful embassy, as well as the event sponsors and WEN members, without whom the event would not have been possible. A special
thank you to all the WGR members who came out to the reception and made the
evening a resounding success.
