Want to Help Out?

The Women’s Network is in need of volunteers to help out in many ways. Volunteers can serve on any of our committees: Leading Ladies, Emerging Issues, Get Out the Vote, and our Fundraising Committee. We also need volunteers to help with general office work such as filing or updating our mailing and E-mail lists.

If you feel passionate about women’s issues and have a few hours to spare, whether it be weekly or monthly, please consider becoming a part of this great, growing Network! For more information or to get involved, please contact us.
