The 13th annual Girls’ Day @ City Hall event is seeking to expose girls (middle school and high school aged) to possible careers in public service and elected office, and this year’s Girls’ Day will take place on Thursday, March 23 from 9:00 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Students will engage in stimulating discussions that both empower them to become future leaders, and introduce them to a career path in public service.
The event is sponsored by the City of Milwaukee and Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs. Girls’ Day is co-sponsored by Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic and Alderwoman JoCasta Zamarripa.
The event will allow attendees to meet a number of local leaders and participate in a panel discussion about public service led by women in the field.
Registration is required and the deadline for registration is March 20 or once capacity is reached (space is limited and there are no exceptions). Registration, along with additional information, can be accessed online at www.milwaukee.gov/GirlsDay.
The alderwomen of the Common Council are encouraging young women across Milwaukee to participate in this year’s event in hopes of inspiring the next generation of young leaders.
“We believe that positive influencing and leadership take form at an early age, and are especially melded when young women are in their middle and high school years,” the Alderwomen said. “We must continue to make sure young women know how rewarding and fulfilling a career in public service can be, and why it is important for women to be represented in this space. Girls’ Day is a fantastic opportunity to observe and learn about public service. Those interested in attending should register today.”
