About Us
The Network of Enlightened Women educates, equips, and empowers women to be principled leaders for a free society. Educate – NeW educates women on campus and early in their careers on the principles of freedom and opportunity by hosting speakers, holding debates, and providing intellectual resources. In its education work, NeW serves as a thought leader, promoting independent thinking and providing intellectual diversity on college campuses and in public discussions on women, policy, and culture. Equip – NeW trains pro-liberty women to serve as leaders through campus sessions, national conferences, leadership retreats, and professional development programs. Empower – NeW cultivates a vibrant community of women through campus chapters, professional chapters, and our online presence that emboldens participants to confidently advocate for pro-liberty ideas in their schools, workplaces, homes, and communities. NeW also connects program participants with career-advancing professional opportunities.
