** UPDATE: July Happy Hour and Other Happenings
------------------------------------------------------------
We’re headed into the August recess (finally!) so join us at our July happy hour (and meet interested new Board members) on Tuesday, 7/26, as well as other events this month.
As always, sign up for our newsletter (if a friend forwarded this email to you, for example) and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (links below) to stay up to date about GLASS.
** July Happy Hour (Tuesday, 7/26) at Wunder Garten
------------------------------------------------------------
Join us at Wunder Garten ([link removed]) on Tuesday, July 26, at 6PM for our July Happy Hour, and meet interested new Board members. Their names and statements of interest are below:
Cam Smith (Sen. Blumenthal)
My name is Cam Smith (She/Her/Hers) and I am on Senator Blumenthal’s defense and foreign policy team. I am also a proud Hoya, currently pursuing my Master’s of Security Studies with Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service. In my free time, I run long distance races, power lift, and play three musical instruments - presently playing French horn with the Georgetown Orchestra! My love of music and arts introduced me to my queer identity as a child, and I remain deeply rooted in that community as it has given me so much.
Prior to joining the Senate, I was a Fulbright Scholar of transatlantic disinformation and journalism, and founded a non-profit to address global food insecurity and international maternal health issues. These opportunities led me to my role in the Senate and subsequent introduction to GLASS.
The community GLASS has given me since joining is one of empowerment, support, and acceptance. GLASS’ empowerment of personal and professional relationships invites often underrepresented staffers to bond and grow as a queer community within and outside the workplace. It has given me my first, and certainly not last, queer community in my professional life.
Micah Escobedo (Sen. Casey)
I’ve lived in DC for 7 years. I’ve collected unique job experiences and met fascinating people, some of whom have become great friends. GLASS was an important part of my acclimation process and I’ve seen how it’s fostered connections. I want to join the GLASS Board as Social Director because I’d like to contribute my digital-creative talents to an organization that helps young queer staffers exchange ideas, form friendships, and network.
I’m a dedicated team player and I want to help shape the group’s public identity for young staffers who are looking for guidance and career direction.
** Reminder: A Conversation with Senator Tammy Baldwin
------------------------------------------------------------
Join CJSA, GLASS, and LGBT CSA on July 28th at 6 pm in S-115 for a Conversation with U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (WI).
Senator Baldwin was elected to the Senate in 2012. She made history as Wisconsin's first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate and the first openly gay member elected to the U.S. Senate. After joining the Senate, Senator Baldwin got to work and has worked tirelessly across the aisle to defend working families in Wisconsin and to expand health care access to people with pre-existing conditions. We look forward to learning about Senator Baldwin's experience in the Senate on July 28th.
Due to security constraints, only Hill staff and interns will be able to join us for this event.
** Reminder: U.S. Senate Toastmasters - Guest Speaker: Michael Franklin, cofounder of Speechwriters of Color
------------------------------------------------------------
Join the U.S. Senate Toastmasters on Friday, July 22 at noon to hear from special guest speaker, Michael Perkins, co-founder of Speechwriters of Color. Michael’s expertise centers around brining people together and helping others tell their stories through coalition building, targeted outreach, and inclusive communications practices.
