Lt. Governor Reynolds Visits Norwalk
Roundtable discussions held at O'Leary Celebration of Life Center to celebrate
National Women's History Month. This is part of Reynolds" 99 county tour.
Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds has announced that she is embarking upon a state-
wide tour to celebrate "National Women's History Month" in March. The Lt. Gover-
nor will be traveling to several communities to meet with female leaders and high-
light how women are positively impacting Iowa with their ideas, actions and inge-
nuity.
"This year's national theme for Women's History Month is 'Weaving the Stories of
Women's Lives.' Every year, during my travels to all 99-counties in Iowa, I witness
first-hand how women are making a difference in their homes, businesses, schools
and communities," said Lt. Governor Reynolds. "Women have played an important
role in Iowa's history and will continue to be trailblazers who serve as role models
for current and future generations of Iowans."
As part of her "Stories of Women's Lives Tour," the Lt. Governor will be traveling
to Webster City, Alden and Atlantic, to name just a few communities during March.
The Lt. Governor will use the hashtag #KimTours99 during her travels across the
state. Joining the Lt. Governor at the news conference was Renee Hardman, wi o is
principal owner of Hardman Consulting and a 2014 inductee into the iowa Women's
Hall of Fame. She spoke on the importance of women makin positive ° a
lives, especially through their actions.
"Women piay a critical role iia helping other women. As a woman, who was raised
by a single parent along with two other sisters, it was female role models - like my
mom and my aunts - who helped shape me into the strong, civic-minded person tha -
I have become," shared Hardman.

She went on to say, "Women need to see role models who have overcome barriers
and who face challenges and have made it, in spite of all. Our life is not measured by
the jobs we have or the money we have in the bank, but by the lives we touched."
According to Molly Murphy MacGregor, executive director and co-founder, chair of
the National Women's History Project, sharing stories about the lives of individual
women is critically important.
"The stories of women's lives, and the choices they made, encourage girls and
young women to think larger and bolder and give boys and men a fuller understand-
ing of the female experience. Knowing women's achievements challenges stereotypes
and upends social assumptions about who women are and wha wgme., can accom-
plish today."
