In the heart of Women’s History Month, Womentum will host the following six female elected officials for an open and honest conversation about the realities of women pursuing and serving in public office. Join us on Thursday, March 6 from 6:00-7:30 pm (doors open at 5:30) at the The National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole. Meet our panelists!

Alyson Spery – Jackson Town Council Member Alyson Spery is a social worker and educator-turned-documentary filmmaker who has produced work for national outlets such as StoryCorps, Field of Vision, Al Jazeera, and PBS. In February 2025, Alyson was appointed to Jackson’s Town Council.  

Her professional experience ranges from wilderness education and youth development to the service industry in hospitality and aviation. In 2019, she founded DIY Docs, a nonprofit film education and production organization whose project, The Sister Cities Docuseries, explores the interwoven communities of Jackson Hole and Tlaxcala, Mexico. Through this initiative, Alyson taught first-time filmmakers in English and Spanish to shoot, direct, and edit their own short documentaries.

Alyson led the local edition of StoryCorps’ One Small Step, fostering civil dialogue between people with opposing political and religious views. Continuing through the 2024 election, she connected local candidates with voters, broadcasting their conversations on KHOL. It was then she began considering public office—initially believing someone else should step up!
