ROADWomen 2015 Heart of the City Honorees
ROADWomen honored 10 Progressive Houston Area business women at their 2nd Annual ROADWomen Heart of the City Brunch. The event was attended by the Who is Who of Houston area politicians and other progressive benefactors.
Before the brunch ROADWomen Executive Committee Member/President Diane Mosier sat down for an interview. “We do the Heart of the City brunch to honor business women and CEOs of nonprofits so that we can show others how you could succeed in business and still have a heart and give back to the community and your charities,” Diane Mosier said. “These women are progressives and we are very proud that they are in our Houston businesses.”
Diane Mosier discusses the Heart of the City Brunch and women political engagement
Ms. Mosier said that the proceeds from the event will be used to engage women and encourage them to participate in the political process to ensure that politicians supporting progressive policies are elected. She lamented that seventy percent of progressive women did not vote in the 2014 elections. That was disastrous for the effecting of progressive policies in Texas. She discussed the April 28th National event Unite Against The War on Women. ROADWomen was instrumental in arranging for buses that ferried women (and men) to Austin for that huge rally at the Texas Capitol.
