The WomenElect program is unique in that we offer you training not only in professional development but also in the local political climate that you will be involved in when you choose to run for elected office. We encourage our future candidates to take the program long before they decide a specific office to run for and to attend a program in your local area. We will introduce you to local party officials, union leaders and political operatives who are active in your region. These are the people that you will need to get to know before you run for office.
