Membership
Gloria Walker (photo coming soon!)
Gloria Walker (she/her) recently relocated to Indiana, specifically to Monroe County, after two decades of nomadic travel as an organizational change management practitioner. Her background is primarily in social services delivery and software change management at state and federal levels. Gloria’s membership in Monroe County NOW began two years ago, seeing a need to join other voices supporting women’s rights. In fact, her mother inspired her, partnering together in Lawrence County in the 1970s to help Indiana pass the ERA. Gloria is an advocate on behalf of women’s issues and the right to make their own decisions.
Gloria earned her B.S. degree in Education from Indiana University, which inspired a devotion to learning new topics, traveling to new places, and learning new languages and cultures. She believes an educated, literate female population enhances the income earning potential in homes and reduces the likelihood of poverty. Gloria is an advocate for economic justice.
