Vision 2020 National Delegates
Vision 2020 National Delegates agree to serve a three-year term. More than 1,000 women registered on our Web site and more than 400 delegate applications were received. Two delegates from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia will be selected. Vision 2020 announced the selection of the National Delegates on May 19, 2010.
The National Delegates attended the October 21-22, 2010, American Conversation on Women and Leadership at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pa. They participated in each of the eight American Conversations and are developing Action Projects to move American toward equality by 2020.
