The Independent Women's Forum invites you to an event in New Hampshire in anticipation of the first in the nation presidential primary. 

IWF's president, Michelle D. Bernard, will be participating in the "If I Were President" forum and breakfast, which is being held by the Lifetime Television/Every Woman Counts coalition.  The forum will take place at the Manchester, New Hampshire, Radisson Hotel and include hundreds of New Hampshire women-many of whom are still undecided voters-and the national and New Hampshire leaders of coalition member organizations.

A straw poll will be conducted at the event and Democratic and Republican presidential candidates will have the opportunity to address women on the issues that matter most to them-from education and healthcare to terrorism and the War in Iraq.

  WHAT:   "IF I WERE PRESIDENT" FORUM AND BREAKFAST

  WHEN:   Saturday, January 5th -  8:30 to 10:30 a.m.

  WHERE:  Radisson Hotel Ballroom, 700 Elm Street, Manchester, New Hampshire

Please today to RSVP to 212-424-7484 or email to lifetimepublicaffair@lifetimetv.com.  Space is limited!

EVERY WOMAN COUNTS is the only public service campaign dedicated to encouraging women to speak out on the issues they care about most, vote and run for office.  First launched in 1992 as a nonpartisan campaign to get out the women's vote during the presidential election, the 2008 initiative will leverage the power of the #1 and #2 television networks for women - Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network (LMN) - and include the most extensive on-air programming, digital content and grassroots efforts to date.  To expand the effort and reach women everywhere they live, work and play, Lifetime launched the media and advocacy coalition in partnership with REDBOOK, CosmoGIRL!, Marie Claire, celebrities, experts, and hundreds of women's nonprofit organizations representing more than 15 million women from all sides of the political spectrum.
