Women’s Community Leadership Network
of San Mateo County

MISSION
Women’s Community Leadership Network is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that equips women with the skills to seek appointed and elected positions. We accomplish this by offering training, networking opportunities, and forums on public policy and community issues.

VISION
To create informed, active and fully engaged women leaders in our community.

Here’s Why…
19% of U.S. Congressional seats are held by women
25% of California Legislative seats are held by women
40% of City Council seats in San Mateo County are held by women
50% fewer women than men consider running for office

“Having served in appointed and elected
positions, I recognize the importance of
organizations like Women’s Community
Leadership Network in San Mateo County
that not only provide a network and
support for women seeking office, but a
resource for women interested in a
myriad of local issues.”
– Alicia Aguirre, former Mayor of Redwood City
