EVNL Campaign College 2023 Sponsorship

Thank you for willingness to support more women and gender diverse individuals across Newfoundland and Labrador in becoming more involved in leadership positions. Whether it’s municipal, provincial or federal government structures, Indigenous leadership, or union/industry leadership, Equal Voice NL* is there to support them on their leadership journey.

EVNL Campaign College 2023
 
Campaign College starts on Tuesday May 9th. For 8 weeks, one evening a week, 40 women and gender diverse participants will go through all aspects of election campaigning with over 35 special guest speakers, endless resources, mentorship and networking opportunities, as well as confidence/skills building activities. In September, Campaign College will be followed by a Fall Conversation Series that delves further into system issues surrounding running for a leadership position.
 
Research shows that when women and people of colour are elected to office, more efficient multi-partisan decision making takes place and policies/support services are pushed through quicker. With only 22.5% women representation in our provincial government, and even less representation when considering other forms of diverse demographics, we are aiming to increase this number moving forward.
