Traditionally, each woman is handed a sunflower at graduation. Sunflowers grow fast, are heat resistant, and each one produces thousands of seeds. It’s an apt symbol for Emerge Alabama’s mission to recruit and train resilient, qualified women to run for office. RSVP for the event and/or purchase a sunflower for the incredible women in the Spring 2021 cohort here!
