Women Lawmaker's Networking Day

Held every spring in Washington, DC, WLND serves as a networking forum for women state legislators and other elected officials who gather for meetings with their national counterparts and for briefings by members of Congress and the Cabinet.

Women Lawmakers' Networking Day is a key component of the NFWL's mission to empower women legislators. Through annual education and networking events, the NFWL supports women who dare to break through the legislative glass ceiling. As a non-profit, non-partisan organization, the NFWL does not take ideological positions on public policy issues, but rather serves as a forum for women legislators to be empowered through information and experience.
