White House Project: Encouraging Women to Run for Political Office

The White House Project is "a national, nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization, 501(c)(3), [that] aims to advance women’s leadership in all communities and sectors, up to the U.S. presidency." Working from the local level up, The White House Project offers training and networking opportunities to women interested in running for public office and making a difference in their communities.

On Thursday, June 23rd, 2011 from 5:30 to 7:30pm, the Rocky Mountains (CO) chapter of The White House Project will be hosting the 2011 Invite a Woman to Run - Colorado eventat the Cellar Wine Bar in Denver, CO. You can attend to support other candidates or The White House Project generally, or you (or a woman in your life) can also attend to learn more about running for office. If you've been looking for a way to make a difference as a lawyer, law student, or just community member, perhaps this is it!
