Women: Finding Your Voice Program Series

WOMEN: FINDING YOUR VOICE

A new program series to help women stand up and be counted

Lori Ehrlich to be inaugural speaker

Marblehead, MA Meeting Room, Abbot Public Library

Tuesday, March 27, at 7 p.m.

State Representative Lori Ehrlich will kick off a series of interactive programs at Abbot Public Library on Tuesday, March 27 at 7 p.m. to help women find their own voice.

Ehrlich will speak briefly about what led her to run for office and then speech and voice professional Betty Lautner will offer ideas on how to present ideas with conviction. The program will also include vignettes of women in history like Sojourner Truth and even comments from pro-feminist men.

This series is open to women and men, high school students through senior citizens.

The idea for this series came from conversations among local residents Judy Gates, Betty Lautner and Jessica Barnett about the many issues facing women today: Being urged to run for office, learning to say NO in the #MeToo movement, and helping girls and women of all ages gain confidence to add their voices and ideas to public discussions.

In future programs, experts in their fields will help women learn how to claim their voice in business, in the community, and in domestic situations, how to speak with authority, and how to overcome shyness or fear and much more. Suggestions for future programs and speakers will be welcome.

The series is presented by “3 Voices” and is co-sponsored by The Marblehead League of Women Voters and Abbot Public Library. Each session is free and open to the public. Refreshments and conversation will follow the program.
