ABOUT THE COALITION FOR WOMEN'S APPOINTMENTS

As a multi-partisan initiative, the Coalition for Women's Appointments works to align collaborating partners and individuals who can help represent a diverse and inclusive process in order to identify and recruit a large pool of qualified women ready to serve in appointed positions in our federal government.  

OUR GOALS:

Support President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and their administration’s commitment to 50% gender parity for women political appointees with a focus on diversity and inclusion of historically underrepresented groups including women of color, LGBTQ+, and disabilities. 

• Help women gain equal access and consideration in the traditional recruitment and placement process for presidential appointments.

• Establish a digital registry of women qualified for senior-level government positions.

• Educate women about the appointment process.

• Increase the number of women in all executive level policy-making positions and at every level below.

• Dispel the myth that “there are not enough qualified women" for federal-level jobs.

We hope our Appoint Women website and resources will serve as a one-stop resource to help more women get prepared to serve in federal appointed office. 

The future of our country starts with us!
