RESULTS is a grassroots advocacy network working to guide political leaders towards decisions that improve access to education, health, and economic opportunity. Since 1980, the network’s advocacy with Congress has helped direct more than $200 billion toward anti-poverty efforts. Formerly a program manager at the WVU Health Sciences Global Engagement Office, DiStefano is a founding member of the West Virginia chapter of RESULTS, which was formed in Morgantown in 2018. Her presentation on August 6 will focus on the network’s work to fight malnutrition and hunger in West Virginia and around the world.
