The Conference of Women Legislators is a non-profit organization that encourages female legislators from both sides of the aisle to work in a bi-partisan fashion to advance the interest of all women, children and families through state, local and federal initiatives. The Council serves as a forum for Illinois women legislators to join with colleagues in workshops and roundtables to discuss issues of concern in the state. Additionally, the Council encourages leadership among Illinois women by supporting NEW Leadership Illinois, a leadership program for college women that is part of the NEW Leadership Development Network of the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) at Rutgers University (NJ).
