UPCOMING ACTIVITIES
MAY 14 IN-PERSON FORUM
On Thursday, May 14, Woman's City Club will present a program on alternative ways to vote with the aim of achieving results that are more reflective of the voters. This in-person forum will be held at Cincinnati Public Radio’s studio at 2117 Dana Avenue in Evanston. Cosponsored by the Cincinnatus Association, Greater Cincinnati Voter Collaborative, and League of Women Voters-Cincinnati Area, the event is free but reservations are required. The event begins with light refreshments at 6:30 pm, followed by the presentation at 7 pm.
With Ohio’s recent ban on Ranked-Choice Voting, the conversation around how we vote—and how election outcomes reflect voters—has never been more important.
Join us for an engaging, in-person forum exploring alternative voting methods and their impact. Through a live, interactive demonstration, attendees will experience and compare systems including Ranked-Choice, Plurality, Condorcet, and Approval Voting—offering a firsthand look at how different approaches can shape results.
Moderated by Lucy May with WVXU, the program features presentations by Ohio Senator Louis Blessing, III and Matt Koesters of Fortify Democracy, who will share insights on emerging proposals and the future of voting in Ohio.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM
AGNES B. SEASONGOOD LUNCHEON AND MARIAN A. SPENCER EDUCATION AWARDS
Thank you to everyone who joined us on May 2 for the 2026 Agnes B. Seasongood Luncheon. It was a truly special afternoon celebrating women’s leadership, civic engagement, and the transformative power of education in our community.
We are grateful to our members, guests, sponsors, donors, and volunteers whose support made this signature event such a success. A special thank you to our featured speaker, Yvonne DiCristoforo, recently retired Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Secret Service Field Office in Cincinnati, for sharing her remarkable journey and insights—an inspiring reminder of the impact of service and leadership.
We are especially proud to congratulate this year’s six Marian A. Spencer Education Award recipients. These outstanding young women exemplify academic achievement, leadership, and a deep commitment to their communities:
Ava Dattilo – William Mason High School
Martha Garcia – Hamilton High School
Grace Phillips – Colerain High School
Tazara Prophett – Walnut Hills High School
Isabella Sammut – Madeira High School
Emori Witmer-Gautsch – William Mason High School
Each recipient was awarded $1,500 to support their continued education, and we look forward to following their bright futures.
