NFWL in the States

NFWL may be based in Alexandria, VA, but we love to travel across the country to meet with our elected women members! NFWL in the States consists of three different types of visits: Dome Tours, Focus Forums, and Capitol Chats. These are great opportunities to connect with NFWL and learn more about the resources and programs we offer in an informal and fun setting. Click here to learn more about NFWL in the States.

NFWL Issue Summits

NFWL Issue Summits are day and a half long discussions on some of the most critical issues in America today. They are designed to encourage the building of alliances and foster a safe environment for sharing ideas and learning about new initiatives. Programs include keynote speakers, panel discussions, leadership development sessions, topic training/model legislation, and facilitated roundtable discussions. Click here to find out more.
