PROFFESIONAL WOMEN’S COUNCIL TO FOCUS ON PRIMARY ELECTIONS

WHEN: Noon – Friday, May 9, 2008

WHERE: Berry Hills Country Club

WHAT: As West Virginia prepares to hold its primary May 13, West Virginia Wesleyan political science Professor Robert Rupp and West Virginia Public Radio's Anna Sale will discuss the state's impact on selecting the next president at the Charleston Area Alliance Professional Women's Council Luncheon. 

Rupp, a nationally-recognized election analyst, says the West Virginia primary is the first election in a generation to spark such national interest. He and Sale will share their perspectives on the factors that will shape the outcome of the election, as well as their thoughts on state and local races. Campaign representatives are expected to attend, as well, along with Secretary of State Betty Ireland.

The Professional Women’s Council hosts bi-monthly luncheons and other events featuring prominent speakers who bring attendees up-to-date information on critical issues impacting our community. The luncheons provide a forum for women to enhance connections and access to business, civic, cultural and educational opportunities in the region.

The event begins with a reception at 11:45 a.m. Lunch follows at noon.
