Women’s Board May Luncheon

Senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota
Director of the Institute of Politics

University Club of Chicago – Madison Room (7th Floor)
76 East Monroe Street, Chicago, IL
11:00 am – 1:00 pm

Heidi Heitkamp shares her vision of the University of Chicago’s prestigious Institute of Politics (IOP) and its highly relevant work in the ever-more-polarized state of American politics. Heitkamp has the distinction of being the first woman senator elected from North Dakota, a position she held from 2013-2019. This was a remarkable achievement for a Democrat in one of the most reliably Republican states in the nation. Heitkamp has been deeply involved with the IOP for years as a Pritzker Fellow and member of the IOP’s senior advisory board, and now as its director. She is an accomplished leader and a consensus-builder and welcomes the challenging conversations that a diverse democracy demands.
