GOOD To Cheer Future Leaders: Wilton 7th Grader Sloka Attaluri Elected Ms President U.S. Wilton
After six months of civic leadership training, public speaking, mentorship and community engagement through the Ms President U.S. program, Sloka Attaluri was elected Ms President U.S. Wilton for 2026, along with Vice President Aarya Patel and Campaign Manager Disha Avadhani.
Attaluri, a 7th grader at Middlebrook School, earned the title at the annual Ms President U.S. Signature Campaign and Election running on a winning platform focused on connecting local businesses with Wilton youth for a mentorship and internship program.
The event featured 22 girls in grades 4-8 representing nine Connecticut towns, each presenting original campaign platforms before an audience of more than 300 community members, elected officials, educators and civic leaders. The election celebrated the power of young girls using their voices to create meaningful change in their communities.
Numerous state and local leaders were on hand, including Ms President U.S. Board Chair and Ridgefield First Selectperson Rudy Marconi, Wilton First Selectman Toni Boucher, State Sen. Ceci Maher, State Rep. Savet Constantine, Wilton Board of Finance member Kim Healy and others.
“The confidence, creativity and courage these girls demonstrated was exemplary,” Ms President U.S. Executive Director Amanda Cordano said. “Sloka’s platform reflects exactly what this program is about: empowering girls to identify issues in their communities and step forward as leaders with solutions.”
As Ms President U.S. Wilton, Attaluri will participate in civic and community events throughout the coming year while advancing her platform and serving as a young ambassador for leadership and civic engagement.
Ms President U.S. is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring and preparing young girls to pursue leadership roles in their communities and beyond. Through educational programming, mentorship, and hands-on civic experiences, the organization empowers girls to become confident changemakers and tomorrow’s leaders.
Registration is open for the 2026-2027 season and seats are limited. For more information visit the Ms President U.S. website.
