Business women hear from Rep. Dahlkemper

By Lauren Mylo Herald Staff Writer

MERCER COUNTY — Members of the local chapter of the American Business Women’s Association considered U.S. Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper an obvious choice as their guest speaker.

The theme of the night Wednesday was women leading in business, government or family life. Besides being a member of Congress and a small business owner, Mrs. Dahlkemper is the mother of five and grandmother.

“We’re excited that she’s here,” said Marcia Radcliffe, a new member of the ABWA in charge of public relations. “I think it’s going to be a great opportunity for her to speak in front of a diverse group of women politically.”
