The Clayton State Women's Forum is rapidly becoming a popular venue for

exceptional women and speakers. Last year, the Forum featured such notable

personalities as Jovita Moore, weekend news anchor for Channel 2 Action News;

Valencia Seay, Georgia State House representative; Evelyn Gibson Lowery,

wife of civil rights leader the Rev. Joseph E. Lowery; and Harriet Hessam,

chief executive officer of the Girl Scout Council of Northwest Georgia.

Among other noteworthy events, the Women's Forum sponsors an annual Silent

Auction, scheduled this year for Oct. 19 in Clayton State's new University

Center commons area. The Women's Forum uses a portion of the proceeds from

this fundraising event each year to help build the Women's Forum Scholarship

Fund, which awards scholarships yearly to qualified students and staff members.

Clayton State Women's Forum goal is to promote the educational, career and

scholarship development activities of women through programming, mentoring,

and advocacy. Forum membership is open to all employees at Clayton State

including male colleagues and student assistants.
