With the national average gas price at $4.59 per gallon and multiple states paying over $5 per gallon, the media attention has rightfully been focused on pain at the pump. Unfortunately, there is another equally disastrous energy problem that has yet to hit the headlines ([link removed]) . A recent report from NERC, the agency charged with assessing our nation’s grid reliability, has warned that over two-thirds of Americans are at high or elevated risks of power outages this summer.

Join us and Kellyanne Conway for our next #IWReads event on June 16. We will discuss her new book, Here's the Deal, a personal memoir that takes you on a raw, honest journey of her professional and personal highs and lows.

------------------------------------------------------------
California has sought to belittle the power that women today have amassed. In 2018, the Golden State felt it necessary to require that corporate boards include one to three women (if they can define one!), depending on the board’s size.
