Emerge California with Christy Smith

Join us for lunch with Christy Smith, current Executive Director of Emerge California - the state’s premier recruitment and training program for Democratic women - and former Democratic Assemblymember for California’s 38th Assembly District. Smith, the first Democrat to win the seat in over 6 decades, brought back vital resources to the district and took on a challenging legislative package that included charter school reform, and landmark legislation for human trafficking victim’s rights while in the Assembly. Prior to the Assembly, Smith served on the Newhall School District Governing Board and the State of California on the Delta Stewardship Council.  In it’s 22-year history, Emerge CA has trained over 900 women with over 224 currently serving in office at every level of government.
