You've heard America's Got Talent, but we've got news for you...the Hill's Got Talent, too!
Our happy hour to celebrate the women Rising Stars on the Hill was a huge success.
Thank you to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, who provided us with such a lovely space.
We look forward to continuing to celebrate the great work of women staffers on the Hill in the years to come!
We honored the Inaugural Hill's Got Talent Class of 2009: Toasting to Next Generation female staff members who have gone above and beyond their usual duties—highlighting them as some of the most promising rising stars of the political arena.
This program also emphasized the importance of mentoring and networking for women in politics—helping us to foster the growth and leadership of women on the Hill and beyond.
