The Texas Campaign
for Women's Health conference on Saturday, November
23, will provide women's health care advocates with
the background and tools you'll need to be effective
advocates during the next legislative session. With a
budget deficit in the billions of dollars, our
statewide grassroots coalition will be invaluable in
the fight to preserve funding for women's health care
in Texas.
Please forward this announcement to your staff and
volunteers, and sign up today! The conference will be
of special interest to public education, public
relations or volunteer coordinators on your teams.
I look forward to hearing back from you!
