“From the cashier to the emergency room nurse to the drugstore pharmacist to the home health aide taking the bus to check on her older client, the soldier on the front lines of the current national emergency is most likely a woman.” #TakeTheLead nytimes.com/2020/04/18/us/co…
Due to the uncertainty caused by COVID-19 in regards to the closing of schools, businesses, and social gatherings, there will NOT be an Annual Leadership Summit this summer. In the meantime, follow the CDC guidelines to keep yourself and your loved ones safe! #TakeTheLead

A huge congrats to @RepJosieRaymond on being the first woman to have a baby while serving in the KY House! And - AND - she was recognized by @RepJoniJenkins, the first female leader of a House caucus in KY history! Best wishes to sweet baby Faye. #TakeTheLead
Last week, hours after @RepJosieRaymond became the first woman to have a baby while serving in the KY State House, @RepJoniJenkins gave her and our baby a very sweet shout-out on the House floor.
Me: 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Is it a coincidence that there’s a female on the staff of one of the #Superbowl teams tonight? We think not. Here’s hoping Coach Katie Sowers makes some HERstory tonight! #TakeTheLead nytimes.com/2020/02/01/sport…
Congratulations to Megan Martin, a Lead KY Campus Ambassador by way of @eku and current @msstate grad student in Wildlife, Fisheries, and Aquaculture for having her research published by Mississippi State! #TakeTheLead

Take notice, KY: with women holding an unprecedented number of seats in VA’s General Assembly, the Equal Rights Amendment - a nearly century-long battle to include protections for women in the Constitution - passes both chambers! #ERA #TakeTheLead washingtonpost.com/local/vir…
“If we worry so much about whether we can elect a woman that it guides our choices, what we get is self-fulfilling prophecy, a future that looks like our past.” #TakeTheLead

Excellent advice for the new year from @GRRRLCamp! Experts say that modeling healthy behaviours and instilling positive body image are the best way to raise healthy girls. facebook.com/316489315054055…
“...the new Lt Gov has been thrust into a leadership role & is an inspiring example for all KY women, but especially those of a younger generation. She is proof that women can hold prominent positions while being a mother & raising a family.” #TakeTheLead state-journal.com/opinion/ed…
