State Directors
- Visibility across Women In Government’s communications channels
- Leadership and professional development opportunities
- Invitations to exclusive learning and community-building activities
- Recognition during a Women In Government State Capitol visit
- Leveraging policy expertise on individual issues with legislators in all 50 states
- Participation in the Women In Government Board of Directors leadership pipeline
Women In Government’s State Directors play an integral role in cultivating a network of women state legislators that amplify the work of female lawmakers nationwide. State Directors inform Women In Government of current, critical policy issues in their states and assist in communicating Women In Government’s programming and opportunities to their legislator colleagues.
Women In Government aims to fill 4 State Director positions in every state, with balance across party and chamber, in keeping with our mission. All State Director applications are approved by Women In Government’s all-legislator Board of Directors. If your party and chamber is already represented by another State Director, we encourage you to nominate a colleague from your state. We also encourage legislators to nominate colleagues in other states and spread the word about this opportunity!
For any questions about the Women In Government State Director program, please contact Communications and Outreach Manager Lindsey Blair at lblair@womeningovernment.org.
