Frye will also speak at the meeting about the importance of electing women officials and standing up to sexual harassment issues in the workplace. The meeting will take place at Fifty-Seven Degrees located at 1735 Hancock Street in San Diego's, Mission Hills neighborhood.

RWR was founded in 2008 by forward-thinking women to bring rationality and accountability back to government.

The non-partisan, membership association demonstrates how passionate and courageous individuals can make changes. RWR welcomes new members and provides volunteer opportunities on various committees.

"Donna truly exemplifies the type of women RWR endorses, honors and supports – strong, accountable, independent thinkers dedicated to cultivating positive change in our communities," says RWR President Michelle Burton. "Her political career and platforms have consistently demonstrated her passion and commitment to transparency and accountability in government. More recently Donna has shown her courage by supporting the need to expose and vocalize the challenges that are keeping women behind in equal access to opportunity and growth in political and private industry workplaces."
