In 2011, the proportion of women in state legislatures is at 23.3 percent. The new initiative—called “Real Women Run – Find Your Voice” —is intended to empower women to participate fully in public life and leadership through elected political office at all levels, political appointments, working on campaigns, or simply learning more about our political system.
Real Women Run – Find Your Voice is a collaborative nonpartisan effort. The partnership includes Hinckley Institute of Politics, YWCA, Vision 2020, Salt Lake Community College, Zion’s Bank, representatives from all political parties in Utah, League of Women Voters, AAUW, current and former elected female officials, , Westminster College, and other community organizations who support women.
