Today, I was honored and priviledged to be part of a conference call for the National Leadership Team for Women for Obama.
The Leadership Team consists of a select group of women from around the country who have demonstrated through their work in the campaign, leadership qualities in the area of organizing and getting the word out. I am humbled to have been included amongst these women early in the campaign.
The clip below includes the audio from the phone call, during which the Senator (along with Becky Carroll, National Director of Women for Obama) thanked the Leadership Team for our work, and encouraged us to stay focused as we head into the primary season and beyond:

They say he caught lightning in a jar. Some say the lightning catcher can win.”
