Running for office

We believe in the power of women to make a more perfect democracy.

And we believe our democracy works when women are in all the halls of power--from the drain commission to the school board to the township supervisor to the county chair and all the way up! 

We have created a Women Lead resource page here where we will share videos, government and university informational resources, and other useful tools for equipping women who are interested in running for political office or who want to support other women in their run.

Finding the details for various goverment meetings can be tricky--especially when some are online or when you have five mintues to race out the door and need an address. We've compiled meeting details onto one Google Calendar so you never miss a meeting.
