PLEASE, save the date of January 18th and 19th, 2008, for the2nd Annual Women’s Policy Leadership Institute to be held in Helena, Montana, at the Great Northern Hotel.
Women’s Policy Leadership Institute’s goal is to create a progressive training and mentorship network to facilitate the transfer of practical policy skills and experience from current women leaders to future women leaders.
The Institute is for women interested in learning more about how to participate in and shape the policy making process and is open to all ages and levels of experience– from those who have gotten their feet wet to those getting ready to take first steps. Presenters, panels and breakout sessions will cover a wide range of skills and topics, to be presented by women who are currently involved in policy efforts in Montana, including legislators, lobbyists, advocates, organizers, and more.
The estimated cost of the conference will be $40 to attend and $25 extra for shared lodging (4 to a room) on Friday night. Some scholarships will be available. More details of conference program and registration forms will be posted on www.montanawomenvote.org by Dec. 15th. You can also email us at info@montanawomenvote.org and we will send you a registration form.
We would appreciate your help informing your community about this opportunity. The importance of women’s leadership in policy efforts cannot be overstated- our communities and state absolutely need us.
If you know others who might be interested in this opportunity - please pass on the information. If you are interested in helping organize this event, please contact Judy Smith, Montana Women Vote Co-Director, at jlswift@mtwi.net or 543-6997.
Hope to see you there!

Is it possible to register to vote on line?
Can one contact MWV on line and sign up for election information?
Well the question about being able to register to vote online is a good one, and we will look it up. ALthough one would suspect there might be a problem with I.D.
As for the second question, MWF is a non-profit and as such cannot support or oppose candidates or parties. However, we can put out a voters guide, if it is done carefully, that will let you know where the candidates stand on the issues and we will be working on that. Thanks!
