June 23, 2018 - SOLD OUT

Network NoVA presents our second Women’s Summit to continue the grassroots momentum of building coalitions across the state to flip Virginia’s Congressional delegation blue in November. This jam packed weekend event for women and men will feature speakers, workshops, an advocacy fair, congressional row, and most importantly, network opportunities. We kickoff the weekend on Friday night with a grassroots shindig with a band,  food trucks, and space to mingle and celebrate our victories. On Saturday, rise and shine to a day designed to get you mentally fit as activists ready to build power and connect your interests to action. We have a long race ahead of us, endurance and sustainability are crucial. As we saw in 2017, when we work together, we can make the impossible possible.

Run to Win 101 is a half-day, introductory training for pro-choice democratic women thinking about running for office.
You don’t need to be a declared candidate or even actively planning to run to attend. You just have to have an interest in learning the basics of being a candidate for state and local office.
In this training we’ll guide you through the nuts and bolts of planning your run, teach you how to get your house in order, and get you ready to take the first steps toward running — and winning.
