About the Organizations:
The Center for Women in Politics & Public Policy (CWPPP) at Texas Woman’s University seeks to increase the number of women in leadership positions in public service. Our goal is to become a destination for young women who desire to dedicate their professional careers to public service, advocacy and leadership.
The CWPPP is part of TWU’s Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership. The JNIWL is dedicated to preparing women to take on successful roles in business and public service to ensure women have the education to establish careers as successful C-suite executives, the skills for building entrepreneurial businesses and the framework needed to run for public office.
The Public Leadership Education Network (PLEN) is the only national organization with the sole focus of preparing college women for leadership in the public policy arena. Their mission is to increase the number of women in top leadership positions influencing all aspects of the public policy process.
