Join the Pro-Choice Women Appointments Bureau!
Disappointed with what you see happening around the state and in our country? Interested in getting more involved with the issues that effect our state? Considering a run for public office? Make a difference & get the experience you need: Join the Appointments Bureau! NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota, in conjunction with the Women Candidate Development Coalition, has established an Appointments Bureau. The goal of this bureau is to increase the number of women in appointed positions on state boards and commissions. Currently, women are unequally represented on state boards, making up less than 40% of all participants. Furthermore, these boards are often stepping-stones to higher office, a place where Minnesota certainly needs more women and especially pro-choice women. You can be one of these women! By completing the application below and returning it to NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota, you will be notified when an opening becomes available on a board in your interest area. If you have any questions about the Appointments Bureau, please contact NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota at (651) 602-7655 or info@mnnaral.org. State Boards, Commissions, and Task Force Interest Areas
