Ready • to • Run
The concept for Ready to Run is an outcome of American Association of University Women (AAUW) of Aabama’s Program Theme Team and Public Policy Committee. In the process of developing statewide programs to support the national theme, “Education as the Gateway to Women’s Economic Security, ”discussions revolved around the problems in Alabama. After much research, it was determined the problems affecting Alabama women and their issues are centered on the fundamentally flawed Alabama Constitution and the insufficient number of women participating governmental processes. Therefore, the Program Theme Team and Public Policy Committee concluded that the voice of women in Alabama had to be stronger.
Becoming a Ready to Run participant is vital to Alabama’s progress because we need more women serving in government leadership. Our goal is to train qualified Alabama women. Therefore, women in our communities cannot afford to miss this opportunity because Alabama is paying a high price for the absence of women’s voices in our state’s leadership.
Ready to Run is preparing to do what no other organization or political group in Alabama is doing, providing training to encourage women to run for government leadership. Ready to Run is prepared to provide non-partisan training that will position women leaders for the challenge of changing the quality-of-life standards for all Alabama citizens - men, women, and children. This is truly a dynamic opportunity for AAUW of Alabama to increase the participation of women leaders in government on the 21st century and We Can Do It Together.
