​The Nineteenth Fund Launch and The Ask with author and pro-activist, Katie Mehnert

​About Our Speaker: Katie Mehnert

​Katie Mehnert is a futurist, founder, and force of nature. She rang the Closing Bell at the New York Stock Exchange. She's advised presidents — plural — as a U.S. Department of Energy Ambassador and the National Petroleum Council. She's been featured on CNN, FOX, NASDAQ, and Newsweek. As the founder of ALLY Energy and The Bee Suite, she's spent decades at the crossroads of oil and gas, climate tech, and the workforce of tomorrow — building the ecosystem where the new economy actually works.

​We cannot wait for permission to build the future we want.

​Progress demands that we break the rules, unleash our curiosity, and have the audacity to ask for what we need. That is the core message of Katie Mehnert's new book, The Ask, and it is the exact energy driving the launch of The Nineteenth Fund.

​The Nineteenth Fund is doing the hard, essential work of strengthening democracy right at the local level in St. Charles County. We are investing in women candidates, mobilizing overlooked voters, and building the grassroots power that shifts districts and changes states.

​Join us for a morning of edgy, unapologetic conversation.
