The 2009 Women’s Policy Leadership Institute, WPLI, was held in January in Helena and was a great success! We had over 90 women attend from all over Montana. Most of the participants had never done policy work before and were able to get their feet wet! This year we had a group of women who participated in a Friday morning session at the Legislature where we did some first-hand citizen lobbying. Friday and Saturday afternoon consisted of great panels and workshops to do skill-building as well as hear the voices and perspectives of women working in the policy field, from elected officials to policy advocacy leaders. Thanks to everyone who presented and attended! But don't let your citizen lobbyist days be over yet...MWV will be back in Helena on March 6th to Celebrate and Advocate to honor International Women's Day! We'll see you there!
