Elizabeth Sullivan, president of the Chautauqua Women's Club, joins the podcast this episode to share her family and personal history at Chautauqua, the CWC's important community work, her thoughts on entering her second season as president, following in the footsteps of Chautauqua giants as Anna Pennybacker and Barbara Vackar — plus a preview of the CWC's well-regarded Saturday lecture series, the Contemporary Issues Forum.


Sullivan has spent more than 35 years working at the intersection of political campaigns and policy issues. A longtime nonprofit leader, she has extensive experience in building philanthropic partnerships; strategic planning, institution building and organizational management; writing, research and editing; and program design and development. Sullivan has helped more than 180 candidates get elected to office, many of them women, ranging from city council seats to the U.S. Senate. She has founded, managed or consulted with more than 65 nonprofit or advocacy organizations.
