Research shows that women need to be asked to run for office more frequently than men before they really picture themselves as a candidate. There are a slew of intersectional barriers that make running for office seem out of reach for women.

Join WFRI for a free bootcamp to help you see that whatever your life experiences are, if you desire to make a difference and shape government policies, you likely have what it takes to serve. This daylong program will help you understand how to get your "house in order" to plan a run for office, how to craft your campaign pitch, and learn about other resources to support your campaign. Even if you choose not to run, you may find an interest in supporting other women who do as a campaign manager or volunteer. 

This is a live, in-person event. A continental breakfast and light lunch will be served.
