"Ready to Run Iowa" is nonpartisan, campaign training for women considering running for elective office in Iowa, preparing for appointive office, or seeking to be leaders in their communities. Registration is required.

This workshop examines research related to women's political status and success in attaining public office in Iowa and throughout United States, provides an overview of Iowa's elections, and discusses the two major political parties of Iowa and organizations with the mission of helping women get elected to office. Panelists will share their firsthand accounts and advice for those considering political office.

The first of six interactive workshops offered by the Catt Center in its 2015 "Ready to Run" series. Each may be attended on its own or in conjunction with others in the series.
