* In March 2013, Shaer was a panelist for a roundtable discussion hosted by Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson. The discussion was held in conjunction with Rep. Mike Honda, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Women’s Action for New Directions, and the U.S. Civil Society Working Group on Women, Peace, and Security. At that event, Shaer praised Johnson for her “long-time commitment to advancing Women, Peace and Security on the political agenda.”
