Political Development Series
Be a change maker.
For you, Your kids, and your communities.
“I loved participating in the Political Development Series. To me, it was a monthly dose of can-do and candor that I looked forward to every time. The other ladies inspired me and I feel more prepared to grow my political wings. Thank you WLI for providing this empowering opportunity!”
“I was just thinking about how much the political development series helped me make the decision to run and then overcome some of the self-doubt that tends to plague us as women in the public arena. Your efforts made a significant difference for me and I’m sure for many others.”

“The Political Development Series will inspire you and give you the courage and tools to run for office. There is something wonderful about being in a room full of smart, engaged women from a variety of political backgrounds all interested in making our state better.
The speakers were informative and dynamic, and the women I met were truly amazing. I especially enjoyed the session on the nuts and bolts of running for office, and the panel discussions with women serving in various elected offices.
I highly recommend this series to anyone interested in running for office or just being more involved with policy decisions in Utah. Sign up — we need you!”
