Falmouth teen selected as Auxiliary Girls Nation senator

Hannah Michaud of Falmouth was one of 100 young women selected to attend the 70th American Legion Auxiliary Girls Nation session in Washington, D.C., July 23-30. As part of the program, two outstanding citizens, known as “senators,” are selected during 50 ALA Girls State sessions held across the country. These students then represent their respective states at ALA Girls Nation. The six-day leadership conference provides aspiring young women leaders with practical insight into the workings of government, and promotes youth civic engagement, and creates friendships and memories that last a lifetime.

Michaud, a rising senior at Falmouth High School, is involved with the Falmouth Theatre Company and volunteers with Portland’s Children’s Museum and Theatre of Maine.

A key component of the ALA Girls Nation program is the mock senate sessions in which the girls write, caucus, and debate bills. Campaigns are held to elect party officials and an ALA Girls Nation president and vice president. In addition the senators hear from guest speakers and visit the Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery, the D.C. monuments, White House, and also meet with their respective state senators and representatives on Capitol Hill.
