Posted on: Aug 30th, 2018 | News and Announcements

For girls dreaming of one day becoming President of the United States, or maybe holding an elected office, then they should sign-up for the Girls in Politics Initiative, Camp Congress being held in Mobile County. The one-day leadership camp will be hosted by Commissioner Merceria Ludgood of Mobile County District One, and will introduce middle-schooled girls to politics through girl-friendly lessons on the structure of our political system. During the camp session, attendees will run for office, vote and convene a session of Congress to pass their own bill and participate in a ceremonial signing of a bill by the elected Madam President - all in one day. Campers will also meet elected officials and political consultants who will serve as honorary camp counselors. The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday, October 9, at the Mobile Marriott Hotel. Lunch and snacks will be provided at NO COST to the participant.
