WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Floridant -- (West Palm Beach, FL – March 7, 2025) With the mission of Empowering Voters, Defending Democracy, the League of Women Voters of Palm Beach County (LWVPBC) welcomed more than 200 friends and supporters to its annual I STAND WITH THE LEAGUE Luncheon & Awards.

One highlight of the fun and informative event was the juicy dialogue between MSNBC's legal reporter and former weekend anchor Katie Phang and author/historian Dr. Robert Watson, an award-winning professor at Lynn University—by Joel Engelhardt, founder, editor, and reporter for Stet News. Following their insightful chat, LWVPBC President Kathi Gundlach presented the League's prestigious Mavericks & Heroes Award to both Phang and Watson.
