Don't miss this fascinating, FREE panel discussion on Saturday, June 14! Register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/panel-discussion-on-mt-lebanon-women-commissioners-tickets-1373600218229?aff=oddtdtcreator

This Panel Discussion with Mt. Lebanon Women Commissioners will explore what it was like to be a woman commissioner back in the 1980s and 90s when the glass ceiling was broken — and what, if anything, has changed. Despite dozens and dozens of male commissioners, only 9 women have been elected to the Mt. Lebanon Commission. Why? We’ll explore that, too.

OUR PANELISTS
CAROLYN BYHAM (R/3rd Ward, 1984 to 1991)
COLEEN VUONO (D/1st Ward, 1988 to 1991, appointed 2015)
ANNE SWAGER WILSON (D/3rd Ward, appointed 2023; 2024-present)

When the U.S. entered World War I, 135 Mt. Lebanon men enlisted. Upon leaving for service, each young man was presented with a money belt made by the local Red Cross unit, which operated out of the Ammann Avenue School. Eleven of these young men were wounded, and one, George Hackney, did not return. A plaque dedicated to these men was installed outside Mt. Lebanon Cemetery on October 18, 1919.
