Elect Her is an initiative co-sponsored by the American Association of University Women.  It involves trainings held at universities and colleges to support and recruit more young women to pursue leadership positions on campus, as well as future political office.  In this edition of the Campbell Conversations, host Grant Reeher speaks with a local director of the Association, and a recent student participant in the initiative, about the problem of under-representation of female leadership, and what can be done at a grassroots level to address it.

Grant Reeher is Director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute and a professor of political science at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.
