    Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz | Christy & Briana

    In honor of Women’s History Month, we are delighted to share this exciting conversation with you. Christy and Briana sit down with a very special woman in our community, Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz! In this chat, you'll learn about the many roles fulfilled by the lieutenant governor; including, serving as Acting Governor when Governor Lamont is out of state, presiding over the State Senate, and serving as Chair of the Governor's Council on Women and Girls. Lt. Gov. Bysiewicz shares why Connecticut is among the best places for women and girls and for raising a family. We'll discuss exciting initiatives happening within the state and important ways to get involved. We'll even dive into CT's status as the Pizza Capital of the U.S. Starting March 14, you can cast your vote for the best pizzerias in CT, the top 100 will appear on the Pizza Capital Pizza Trail. Join us to celebrate women and girls, Connecticut, public libraries, and, of course, pizza!  Helpful Links: https://portal.ct.gov/governor/working-groups/governors-council-on-women-and-girls?language=en_US https://irisct.org/ https://ctvisit.com/pizzatrailvote Book & Film Recommendations Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll Junie by Erin Crosby Eckstine The Womenby Kristin Hannah Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy The Six Triple Eight PG-13 2024 ‧ War/Drama  This podcast uses music by Ashutosh, under a creative commons license: Time by ASHUTOSH | https://soundcloud.com/grandakt Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US
