Rep. Susan DuBose to host second annual “Girls’ Day at The Capitol”

 FROM STAFF REPORTS

 MONTGOMERY – As part of her ongoing effort to encourage young women to become involved in state government, State Rep. Susan DuBose. R-Hoover, announced on Tuesday, Dec. 3 that she will host the second annual Girls’ Day at The Capitol on Tuesday, Dec. 17.

The event, which is co-sponsored by Miss Alabama Teen Ali Mims and open to girls from across the state in sixth to 12th grade, will provide participants with the opportunity to interact with and ask questions to female elected officials and tour the Alabama Capitol Building and Governor’s Mansion.

“Though Alabama currently enjoys its second female governor, a female U.S. senator, and 24 female members of the Alabama Legislature, our state still ranks 47th nationally with just 18 percent of lawmakers being women,” DuBose said. “Women bring a unique perspective and a different set of issues, initiatives and priorities to public service, and it is important for us to encourage future generations of young women to become involved in government and let their voices be heard.”

More than 200 girls took part in the inaugural Girls’ Day at the Capitol event, which was held last year.

On the day of the event, participants will meet at the Alabama State House at 12:30 p.m. with the Capitol tour and session with female officeholders following at 1 p.m. The group will also tour the Christmas decorations at the Alabama Governor’s Mansion from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. and participate in a refreshment reception before taking a group photo.

Attire is listed as “Sunday Best.”
