A Seat at the Table: How Representative is the Legislative Process? On Demand Recording

On October 20, 2022, 131 & Counting hosted a robust virtual conversation with the American University research team that has spent a decade utilizing publicly available committee reports and hearing transcripts to identify witnesses testifying before congressional committees to measure each committee's efforts to represent women and persons of color. Following their presentation, we spoke with current and former women staff directors and chiefs of staff who have been intimately involved in the witness selection process. The conversation was informative and engaging and we hope you find this recording valuable.
