How does one sign up or apply to teach a class during this week? I have led workshops in the past on natural women's health and how to decode personal care product ingredients. i'd love to teach this in the future if there is a way for the public to get involved.
Laura, we won't be able to have you during the Empowered Women series, but we'd love to talk to you about doing something in the future. Call Patty Parks, our community services manager, at 804-646-7223 or e-mail her at Patricia.Parks@Richmondgov.com. She'd love to set something up with you.
