The Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber wishes to congratulate state Reps. Lauren McNally and Monica Robb Blasdel for receiving the Elected Women of Excellence Award from the National Foundation for Women Legislators.
Established in 2013 as part of the foundation’s 75th anniversary celebration, the award is given to one Democrat and one Republican from each state to honor their dedication to serve their communities and support important issues, as well as break down barriers in government.
“Not only are Lauren McNally and Monica Robb Blasdel fierce supporters of the Mahoning Valley, but they are also staunch advocates of the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber,” said Lyle Huffman, Regional Chamber Executive Vice President, Government Affairs & Community Impact. “They are truly deserving of this prestigious award that recognizes their service in the community and to their constituents, as well as paving the way for future generations of elected women.”
The foundation provides resources to elected women for leadership development, exchange of diverse legislative ideas and effective governance through conferences, state outreach, educational materials, professional and personal relationships, and networking.
