INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Members and guests of the Democratic Women’s Club of Indian River County will hear from the president of the state organization at the June 20 luncheon meeting in Vero Beach.
Maureen McKenna, Ph.D., who has headed the Democratic Women’s Club of Florida, Inc. (DWCF) since 2013, will discuss the background of the state group, as well as the history of the National Federation of Democratic Women.
Involved in various aspects of the Democratic organization, Dr. McKenna has held numerous positions, including president of the Highlands County Democratic Women’s Club, credentials chair of the DWCF, and state legislative chair when she coordinated the DWCF’s organization’s first Tally Days.
