After last year’s successful inaugural event — featuring heavy-hitters such as Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, Former Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno, Freeholder Ashley Bennett, Comedian Julia Scotti, and more — Deputy Mayor Amy Quinn, Councilwoman Yvonne Clayton, Comedian/Politico Jess Alaimo, and AP Women’s March founder Dani Fiore are keeping the conversation going with the event which again promises to be both both educational and entertaining. The non-partisan event aims to look at issues that affect women across party lines in an engaging and realistic manner. The APWC will not only leave audience members inspired but also with direction on how to actually bring forth change. Last year, with over a thousand women in attendance at the Paramount theatre, the Convention addressed issues such as: Equal Pay, Women’s Healthcare, and Sexual Violence. This year the event will be at the Stone Pony and will tackle the issues of: Cannabis and Wellness, Being A Trans Ally (with Garden State Equality), and Agreeing To Disagree.

APWC co-founder Deputy Mayor Amy Quinn adds, “We are once again thrilled to host an event which brings together women of different ethnicities, political affiliations, and ages to ensure all our voices are being heard on issues that matter to us all. Mark your calendar for a fun, informative event on March 30th.”

Original APWC co-founder and Councilwoman Yvonne Clayton adds, “We are very excited about the opportunity to bring APWC to the Stone Pony this year. The APWC was not just a one-time event. Every year we will be doing something new, different, and exciting. We know that both women and men will come out and support us.”

The Cape May County Coast Guard Community Festival is presented by the Cape May County Coast Guard Community Foundation in partnership with the County of Cape May and its 16 municipalities, the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce, the City of Cape May and community sponsors.
The festival honors the men and women of the United States Coast Guard and celebrates the county’s designation as a Coast Guard Community. The designation was awarded after approval by the United States Coast Guard and an Act of Congress in 2015.
Considered by many to be the Coast Guard’s hometown, the festival takes place at Training Center Cape May (TRACEN) – the only active Boot Camp for Coast Guard recruits in the United States.
