Whether through leading a local chapter, serving on the Board, a committee, or as staff, women are the backbone of Progressive Massachusetts. This March, we want to highlight some of the many women who are leading our movement.
Sandie Kimball. Sandie is a co-lead of our local chapter, Progressive Mass Western Norfolk County (Norfolk, Plainville, Wrentham, Medfield). Congratulations to Sandie on the one year anniversary of her chapter! Western Norfolk County Progressives have achieved many successes in their first year and we can’t wait to see what they’ll achieve in the year to come. If you’re local, reach out to them here.
