The Policy Circle Co

The civic leadership engagement roadmap (cler) is a dynamic, self-paced leadership program designed to equip women to lead in their communitieswhether through elected office, board and commission appointments, or grassroots efforts. In 2024, cler saw a 112% increase in applications, with 177 women completing the program. To date, 588 women have participated, generating more than 1,100 documented stories of impact. These include 42 board and commission appointments, 24 elected officials, and dozens more who have taken on leadership roles, launched advocacy efforts, or run for public office. The program also expanded through specialized tracks for women entrepreneurs and members of the military community, further deepening tpc's reach.

Local policy circles provide a powerful grassroots model for engagement. These peer-led roundtables, supported by tpc's resources and digital tools, are sparking increased visibility, confidence, and impact at the local level. The organization also hosted 24 in-person and virtual programs throughout the year, including high-profile initiatives like the faith & civic life symposium, the women and economic freedom series, and days at the capitol, offering women additional pathways to connect, learn, and lead.
