Women on the Run

Women on the Run 2026 is an initiative designed to guide women along the full continuum of civic engagement—from joining community advocacy efforts, to serving on nonprofit boards and commissions, to preparing for appointed or elected office.

It will include networking, an inspiring keynote, and a panel titled, My Seat, My Story, featuring women who share their leadership journeys and the impact of their service.

Attendees will receive practical guidance through mini presentations on advocacy pathways, nonprofit board preparation, civic leadership engagement, and the application process for appointed roles. The Action Lab will help participants identify one area of civic engagement they want to explore and a first step they can take within 60 days.
