Lead Where You Land

The Center for Women & Democracy empowers women to lead where they land.

We provide a platform for underrepresented voices to be heard, a space to build deep connections with each other, and offer opportunities for women of all backgrounds to lead.

CWD turns 25! A quarter-century of courage, connection, and change. Since 2000, we have empowered women across Washington and beyond—in building leadership skills and lifelong friendships.

This year marks a momentous milestone, and we’re celebrating every story and every voice. Join us in honoring the past, elevating the present, and envisioning an even bolder future.

Whether you’ve just met us or have been part of the journey from the start—you’re part of the legacy. Come celebrate with us.
