Your Women for Election journey matters, even if you didn't run for office.

Not every impact shows up in election results. Some of our alumni become community leaders, advocates, volunteers, editors, board members and changemakers in countless other ways.

Together with The Australian National University and The Global Institute for Women's Leadership, we're launching an anonymous survey to measure active citizenship, and we need 150 alumni to take part.

If Women for Election has influenced how you participate in your community, we'd love to hear from you.

Your response will help us demonstrate the real impact our training is having in communities and support the future of these programs for women across Australia.
