Connecting with Constituents and Shaping Policy | with Rep. Nabeela Syed

Welcome to Elected Women Across America, a podcast featuring elected women with common goals to exchange legislative ideas and reach across the aisle. Hosted by the National Foundation for Women Legislators, this podcast provides a direct line to the leaders that the organization empowers. 

In this episode, Brenna sits down with Representative Nabeela Syed of Illinois to discuss the importance of maintaining diverse perspectives in office while connecting with each of your constituents. Rep. Syed shares her personal journey into politics, from working on a successful campaign to an accomplished first term in office. 

NFWL is hosting a healthcare summit August 1st-2nd in Chicago, Illinois. In this episode, listen as executive director Jody Thomas describes her favorite parts of the summit. We'll be learning about maternal mental health, rare diseases, caregiving, and more;  taking time to learn from one another, network, and engage in professional development. Registration is live on our website at www.womenlegislators.org/event/2024-healthcare-summit. 

We'll bring you new stories from elected women each episode with host Brenna Kehew Sculley. Are you interested in sharing your story with us here at NFWL? Sign up today to record your podcast, share your passion and get engaged in 2024 at podcast@womenlegislators.org.
