Analyzing Power  NOTE NEW TIME!

This workshop is the first in our series Your Passion, Your Leadership: A Workshop Series for Aspiring Women Advocates and will introduce participants to tools like power analyses and power mapping, helping leaders identify who holds influence in their respective communities, where gaps in representation exist, and how to strategically shift power in the direction of equity. Participants will learn how to identify where decisions about schools, healthcare, and local services are being made—and how best to influence them.

Your presenter will be Carin Schiewe.

Your Passion, Your Leadership: A Workshop Series for Aspiring Women Advocates: In partnership with the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire, MomsRising, and other women-centered community organizations, this six-part workshop series will empower women in the Upper Valley to step into their power as leaders and advocates. Using the disproportionate impacts of HB 1569 on women’s right to vote as a central case study, the series will provide participants with the tools, skills, and confidence necessary to engage in effective advocacy. From understanding how power operates on a day-to-day basis in our communities, to mastering communications and social media, to managing volunteers and sharing success stories, each session is designed to strengthen women’s voices and build a more representative democracy.
