About Women's Policy Institute

The Women's Policy Institute program, the second of its kind in the nation, cultivates skills for shaping policy-making at the state level.  Our top goal is to increase the number of women leaders in the state, who are actively involved in influencing and applying policies for the well-being of women and girls.
