San Joaquin County’s first female district attorney, Tori Verber Salazar, is among those speaking at a special Women in Blue event Tuesday.

“An Evening with San Joaquin County’s Top Women in Crime, Law and Public Safety” is part of the TEP Talk lecture series.

Increasingly, women are rising through the ranks in agencies that protect the public, create safer streets and prevent social injustices such as human trafficking and domestic violence, and are making a significant difference in our communities by leading efforts that are improving the quality and safety of lives for all residents, according to the sponsoring organization, The Eleanor Project. The group is dedicated to the advancement of women and their causes.

The event will be held from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesday at the historic women’s club, The Philomathean Club, 1000 N. Hunter St., in Stockton. The $25 tickets include light food by Cast Iron Trading Company, Channel Brewing and Stockmarket, and are available at theeleanorproject.com.
