EQUIPPING WOMEN with SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, and CONFIDENCE to STEP INTO LEADERSHIP ROLES in THEIR COMMUNITIES
For the doers, problem solvers, and those who get things done, welcome to The Policy Circle—a vibrant community of over 15,000 women in 48 states who care deeply about preserving freedom, free markets, personal responsibility, and entrepreneurial values.
We firmly believe that despite significant progress in recent decades, far too few women hold seats of influence in their communities. We’re dedicated to changing this by equipping and empowering women to step into leadership roles.
We gather women together who want to bring back civil discourse to discuss pressing public policy issues while asking each other tough questions, diving into meaningful conversations focused on solutions at the local level. Since 2015, The Policy Circle has been on a mission to build up women as strong, focused, and effective leaders.
Our Method
01 INFORM
We inform a national audience who is hungry for reliable, fact-based resources that spark conversations and help them take action.
02 EQUIP
We equip women with skills and knowledge to serve in elected and appointed roles through the Civic Leadership Engagement Roadmap.
03 CONNECT
We connect in-person and virtually through round-table conversations and engaging events across the nation.
BUILDING WOMEN LEADERS
The Policy Circle offers Civic Leadership Engagement Roadmap (CLER), a three-month leadership program that boosts civic knowledge and propels women into leadership. Launched in 2021, this highly immersive, experiential program combines small group learning and one-onone coaching to equip graduates with the constitutional knowledge, network, and support to lead. Over 300 participants have enrolled in the program that launched them as community leaders, securing both elected and appointed roles.
Championing Civic Dialogue
“I have a voice, and my voice is important. It is also needed and valued in my community. There are different perspectives on the same issues – this is by design and should not be feared. We can work together for the common good when we respect differences of opinion.” –Jennifer Belnap
Increasing Civic Knowledge
“The knowledge I gained through The Policy Circle provided me the confidence to ask the right questions and listen effectively.” –Kim Scofi
Taking Action
“The Policy Circle empowers me to take action, but taking action does not have to be monumental. Micro-actions result in transformation, especially when we encourage others to come alongside us.” –Sherry Grate
