In a nutshell, participants will examine the 26 planks that resulted in the original National Platform for Action established in Houston back when I was, um, 8 years old, which dealt with all aspects of women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lives.  The goal of the weekend is to &#8220;boldly strategize to update the platform to the present, and identify and target goals for the future.&#8221;  Sounds good, and my hope is that the feeling there will be authentically intergenerational.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The seventies are IN!
