Positive Role Models

Positive Role Models

At NEW Leadership™, students meet women who are dedicated public servants and represent a wide range of backgrounds, family and educational experiences, and political views.

The women leaders who participate as faculty and speakers at NEW Leadership™ serve as important role models and often become part of the political networks that the students begin to develop during the program. The significance of interacting with women leaders who serve as mentors and role models is crucially important in transforming their views of politics and politicians, and helping them understand how they can make an impact and become more politically involved. 

 

New Leadership™ 2012 Arizona Alumni Testimonials:

"I had never heard of Emily's List or Arizona List and these things really demonstrated that there are support systems for women interested in public office." 

 

"There are powerful women out there who are willing to talk to you and mentor you. More importantly, there are peers who are interested and active in politics.."
