Greetings!  

Elect Her–Campus Women Win is the only program in the country that encourages and trains college women to run for student government and future political office. A collaboration between AAUW and Running Start, Elect Her addresses the need to expand the pipeline to women running for office and to diminish the longstanding political leadership gender gap. Women Involved in Learning and Leadership (WILL) is Elect Her to campus, and you're invited to join us for this exciting leadership training opportunity!

Our campus training will be held Saturday, February 21 from 10:30am-3:00pm in Sherman Hall B Wing 220. Breakfast and lunch will be provided (and it will be delicious). You will learn how to figure out what your message and platform is, how to craft a communication strategy that works, and you'll hear from campus and community leaders about what it takes to win. Delegate Brooke Lierman will join us to share her journey to elected office as a young woman with a family. It is going to be a great day!

These skills will be applicable not only for running for office, but for helping advance your student organization, make good arguments on the job, and develop confidence in your skills as a leader. The training is open to all students of all genders, so please join us! Register here: http://tinyurl.com/ElectHer2015. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Kate, WILL Director, at drabinsk@umbc.edu.

Best,
