Congresswoman Beatty Receives Prestigious PLEN Mentor Award

Beatty honored for her leadership and support of future women leaders

WASHINGTON, DC – On March 16, the Public Leadership Education Network (PLEN) awarded U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) the 2016 PLEN Mentor Award. Each year, the award is given to national leaders committed to empowering women in the public policy arena.

“It is an honor to receive this prestigious award from the Public Leadership Education Network,” Beatty said. “I am humbled to have my name included among the distinguished list of previous and current Mentor Award recipients.” Beatty continued, “I will never forget those who paved the way for me, and will continue to do all I can to see that more women and girls have the opportunity to pursue and achieve their dreams.”

PLEN is the only national organization with the sole focus of preparing college-aged women for leadership roles in public policy. Founded in 1978, PLEN seeks to achieve this overarching goal by increasing the overall number of female, public policy decision makers.
