Century of Action Kick-Off, Salem, March 8, 2011

Century of Action: Oregon Women Vote, 1912-2012 will be having a kick-off event March 8, 2011, which also happens to be International Women’s Day. They are co-hosting this event with Sec. of State Kate Brown, and it will be held in the Capitol Building in Salem from 5:30-7:00 pm. The evening’s program will be from 6-6:30 and will comprise several speakers, a launch of the Century of Action website, highlight the upcoming Oregon Blue Book with woman suffrage as its theme, and the first reading of the Declaration of Statewide Celebration by Oregon Heritage Commission Director Kyle Jansson.

The Northwest History Network has played a critical role in getting the Century of Action project off the ground. CoA Project Director Janice Dilg would like the opportunity to publicly thank NHN for its early and ongoing support for the project and provide a venue for NHN to become more widely known. We are anticipating 75-100 guests that will include elected officials and supporters of the suffrage centennial.
