It is to help qualified pro-choice women get elected and hold appointments. Its purpose is to identify and solicit qualified pro-choice women who may be interested in the School Board, County or City Commission, State House or Senate, and other positions. This group will not only identify women who are interested in politics but who are also qualified to gain the support necessary to run. I believe that one of the ways the Caucus will survive as a viable entity here in Naples is to constantly have a steady stream of new, and not necessarily young, talent. Obviously, this Club will be closely aligned with membership.
Membership is a whole other issue.
If I may address that briefly now. We are one of the largest chapters in the state. In order to stay that way, we need to constantly be moving forward. I beseech each member to bring one new potential member to a luncheon, every 6 months. The board members of our organization cannot do all the work.
