State Rep. Linda M. Gentile, D-Ansonia, Derby, recently attended a pair of leadership development conferences in her role as Deputy Speaker of the House. 
She was one of a handful of invited women legislative leaders from across the country.
“In my role as State Representative for the 104th District and Deputy Speaker in the House of Representatives, I must be the very best that I can be. That means learning new and innovative ways to represent govern and lead,” Gentile said. 
“Participation in these scholarship training and professional development conferences was really beneficial and rewarding.”
Gentile was selected along with only 12 other legislative leaders from throughout the country by the National Conference of State Legislatures to attend the summit in Boston. 
Similarly, she was one of 26 women legislators from across the country to attend the conference in Santa Fe, N.M.
“My attendance was made possible by professional scholarship and personal funds,” Gentile said. 
“The policy was invited legislators only and I attended on a full scholarship.”
