About Georgia Women Connect
Georgia Women Connect (GWC) is a non-partisan nonprofit focused on educating and encouraging women to engage in all areas of public life, in particular, serving on quasi-governmental boards and commissions in Georgia. This includes serving on community boards, achieving appointed office. The nonprofit has created a series of videos focused on assisting women to learn more about the journey to public service.
Who We Are
We are a group of women in the metro Atlanta area dedicated to fostering better local leadership through greater representation from women across Georgia. We own businesses, work in local government, represent corporations and lead non-profit organizations. Some of us are happily retired from all that. We all believe in service to our communities and we volunteer to support this important mission. We created the Clearinghouse to make it easier for women to be considered for public service.
GWC Vision
All women – especially those in underrepresented communities – have greater access to opportunities to serve their communities and to be appointed to leadership roles, particularly in quasi-governmental boards and commissions.
Organization Mission
GWC, a non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization, will inspire and empower women statewide to become involved with their communities through advocacy, civic engagement, networking, and public service.
