Manage episode 349439818 series 3387837
Today’s certified persister is Anna Bortolus.
Anna grew up in Burlington, Ontario in a family with progressive values and a strong social justice streak. She first got involved in politics as a child making phone calls for her neighbour as he ran for local office.
She began her career at a major appliance manufacturing corporation which led to her building her own business as she started her family.
Ahead of the 2011 provincial election in Ontario, Anna became the Riding Fundraising Facilitator for the Ontario Liberal Party, supporting the fundraising efforts of local riding associations while also volunteering her time supporting the fundraising efforts of the Ontario Women’s Liberal Commission.
Anna joins us today to talk about how she got involved in politics, what it takes to fundraise at the local level, and how we can encourage more women to get involved in civic life.
