Dear NFWL Members and Partners,
It is my great pleasure to be sworn in as Chair of the National Foundation for Women Legislators. In 2018, I am looking forward to a productive year of continuing our mission to support elected women. As an organization, NFWL has set the strategic goal of 2018 to be peer-to-peer membership engagement. As an organization, our three priorities are as follows: 1. NFWL Proclamation: We are looking for all elected women to either pass the “Celebrating Women in Public Office Day” proclamation or join our social media campaign to honor the day on March 19. Read more below to see how you can get involved. 2. Peer-to-Peer Membership Engagement: You know how your membership in NFWL has benefited you. Now spread the word! This year is all about relying on you to share your experiences with your colleagues and encouraging them to get involved. 3. State appropriations: Without adequate funding, NFWL events and resources are not possible. Several states have added NFWL to their budgets to support their women’s involvement in our organization. Reach out to NFWL for a letter to use for your state appropriations. I look forward to working with you all this year to achieve these goals and priorities. Look out for the March Newsletter, which will feature more information about a special project of mine which trains young women to run for office through the CAWP NEW program. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at kimberly@womenlegislators.org. Wishing you the best in 2018,  Montana State Representative NFWL 2018 Chair |
