To deepen the engagement of Policy Circles in the states and continue expansion, The Policy Circle created the State Leadership Council (SLC) program in 2018. SLC’s expand The Policy Circle’s mission by recruiting more Circle members and leaders in their state, welcome new Circle leaders, and provide engagement opportunities for members – like last year’s 19th Amendment celebration. We are grateful for the amazing women who serve regionally and are passionate about our mission to inspire the next generation of women leaders.
