Championing Community Change | with Senator Donzella James

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, we’re live from our 2024 Annual Conference with Georgia State Senator Donzella James. Senator James shares her history with the Civil Rights Movement in Georgia, and the prominent mentors she made along the way before sponsoring or co-sponsoring over 400 pieces of legislation throughout her tenure in the Georgia Senate. 

This episode also features Kim Olson, Pew Charitable Trusts Retirement Savings Senior Officer. Pew’s programs offer private sector employees without workplace retirement plans a straightforward way to contribute to an IRA. Kim explains why these initiatives matter and how state legislators play a crucial role in shaping retirement security.

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.
