Encouraging more women to seek public office — and helping them achieve that goal — is the focus of an upcoming virtual training event.
Set for Feb. 24, Run Where You Are – Say Yes “is calling on women and gender-diverse people to take the next step toward public leadership” by attending the free, non-partisan virtual event next week.
The news release about the event states women and gender-diverse people are still underrepresented in municipal leadership. One way to counter that underrepresentation is by supporting and encouraging women who are curious and interested but unsure.
The training “is designed for those who are curious about running for office, actively considering a campaign, or seeking clarity on what leadership could look like in their own community. The event focuses on breaking down barriers, addressing self-doubt, and offering practical insight from those who have already said ‘yes’ to leadership.
