Women on the Run

Women on the Bench
Three of the nine Supreme Court Justices are women. Only 33 percent of active United States district court judges are women. There are 83 women of color serving as active federal judges across the country. We need more women on the bench.
Join us for Women on the Bench, events where local judges share their experiences and their roads to the bench. You can learn about what steps you'll need to take to successfully be appointed or elected to the bench. Ask questions and learn about the process. These programs are free, but space is limited. |
Women on Board Leadership Academy
Serving on a government or nonprofit board is an honored responsibility and leadership calling. A coalition of organizations came together in 2020 to launch a free virtual 9-month leadership academy that provided the knowledge and resources to empower more women, especially women of color, to take on this important leadership role.
Details are forthcoming for our next training. |
Network of Elected Women
The good news is that women are getting elected in unprecedented numbers in local offices around the country. The bad news is that elected women face serious obstacles to their personal and political success.
After election night the hard work begins. Elected women not only have to learn to navigate the political world and push legislation, but they have to do it while managing their regular jobs and lives. These very real problems are getting in the way of elected women achieving their goals. Enter NEW, The Network of Elected Women. Our one and only goal is to provide women elected to local offices with the support and guidance they need to do their jobs well. |
