One of the great things about social media in general and Twitter specifically is that you can discover cool organizations. Tonight Rosetta Thurman tweeted about “friending” Marie C. Wilson, president of The White House Project on Facebook. I was intrigued and checked out the organization and here’s what I found.
The White House Project, a national, nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization, 501(c)(3), aims to advance women’s leadership in all communities and sectors, up to the U.S. presidency. By filling the leadership pipeline with a richly diverse, critical mass of women, we make American institutions, businesses and government truly representative. Through multi-platform programs, The White House Project creates a culture where America’s most valuable untapped resource—women—can succeed in all realms.
To advance this mission, The White House Project strives to support women and the issues that allow women to lead in their own lives and in the world. When women leaders bring their voices, vision and leadership to the table alongside men, the debate is more robust and the policy is more inclusive and sustainable. By supporting women and the values that allow women to succeed—the full range of health options, security platforms that utilize all our resources, economic stability for all—we work to create an equitable culture.
The White House Project has a great website and they also maintain a social network for women leaders using the Ning platform.
Here’s a introductory video about the organization and their work:
