Save the Date! Leap into Leadership

February 12-13, 2009                                        Cheyenne, Wyoming

The bipartisan Wyoming Women`s Legislative Caucus is building equality in the Equality State by hosting women at the State Capitol in Cheyenne for the second annual "Leap into Leadership" event on Thursday and Friday, February 12 and 13, 2009. Leap into Leadership will familiarize participants with Wyoming government`s legislative and executive branches, encourage women to express themselves, and help strengthen women`s leadership at all levels of community and public service. Founded in 2006, one of the primary goals of the bipartisan Wyoming Women`s Legislative Caucus is to encourage more Wyoming women to run for political office and increase the number of women in elected positions. That`s why the Caucus is hosting the second annual Leap into Leadership event at the Wyoming Legislature in partnership with Equality State Policy Center, Wyoming Business Alliance, and Wyoming Women’s Foundation. The Wyoming Women`s Legislative Caucus is a project of The Equipoise Fund. We`ll send you more details and a registration form soon! In the meantime, please contact Melissa E.
