HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - Mississippi State Rep. Missy McGee is launching the Gandy Leadership Academy for Young Women as a new programming opportunity for ninth-grade girls who live in the city limits of Hattiesburg. The program is six weeks long and will take place after school, meeting twice a month, to help young women foster a greater sense of self, community awareness and civic engagement. Named after the late Evelyn Gandy, who served as Forrest County's first female representative and Mississippi's first female lieutenant governor, program participants will learn from strong female leaders in the local area.
