McCombie Honors Local Female Leaders at Annual Conference in the Capitol

House Minority Leader Tony McCombie held the fourth annual House Republican Women to Watch Conference in Springfield today. The event drew women leaders from across the state on Tuesday to recognize and celebrate their efforts to make a difference in communities throughout Illinois.

This spring Leader McCombie called for nominations from her 89^th District, which ultimately produced 16 impressive area leaders. From that number, three were chosen to attend the Springfield event: Daisha Boehm, Katie Herrig, and Allison Huntley.

"It is important to continue to recognize and honor women who have worked hard to make communities throughout our state a better place to live and work," said McCombie. "Beyond that, I am continually impressed with the number of nominations I received. This is just the beginning, and I look forward to continuing to celebrate all the leaders in northwest Illinois."

Leader McCombie plans to invite all event nominees to a special event this summer to further recognize their accomplishments. The House Republican Caucus will continue to make Women to Watch an annual event, building on the success of the first such event hosted in 2019.
