NFDW Western Regional Meeting
On October 1, 2022, the Nevada Federation of Democratic Women hosted the Western Regional Meeting featuring Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. It was held at the Paradise Park Recreation Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event also featured a memorial commemoration by Assemblywoman Sandra Jauregui, who is a survivor of the October 1, 2017 shooting with a prayer led by Rev. Pat Spearman.
President Gini Ballou joined other leaders from across the region and state in coming together to help create a coalition for change. She was joined by NFDW President Gail Buckner, NVFDW President Audrey Dempsey, and DWCF President Monica Readus.
At a time when the rights and voices of women are under attack in our great state, it was important to gain strength from each other as we head into the November 2022 election.
