Prior Events 

2008 Legislative Reception

In the fall of 2008, the MWPC held its first major legislative reception in more than a decade to honor elected women in Memphis at the state level. The caucus partnered with the Women’s Foundation for a Greater Memphis and the Memphis Area Women’s Council, who served as co-sponsor of the event.

Special Guest, TN Supreme Court Justice Janice Holder; and
a surprise visit from former Tennessee State Representative Kim McMillan.
