State Directors are Women In Government’s go-to ambassadors in the states. As our legislative leaders, along with our Board of Directors, they keep us informed about pressing policy issues in their state and ensure that we are meeting the needs of our legislator members.
As a non-partisan organization, Women In Government aims to have party parity in all leadership positions, with up to 4 State Directors in each state from both chambers (if applicable) with all parties represented. Women In Government is committed to party parity and diversity, equity, and inclusion in all forms.
Women In Government is asking for female state legislators to self-nominate or nominate a new female state legislator to serve in a leadership position as a Women In Government State Director. Click here or see below to see list of current 2021 State Directors and vacancies.
All final nomination confirmations will be approved by the Women In Government Board of Directors.
