1998: CAWP creates Ready to Run®, a non-partisan campaig

CAWP creates Ready to Run®, a non-partisan campaign training program to encourage and train women to run for elective office, position themselves for appointive office, work on campaigns, or become active in public life in other ways. Interest from other states in replicating the program leads to the Ready to Run® National Network, through which state partners modify CAWP’s model to fit their own political cultures. There are currently 25 members of the Ready to Run® National Network.
