In the heart of Women’s History Month, Womentum will host six female elected officials for an open and honest conversation about the realities of women pursuing and serving in public office.

Join us on Thursday, March 6 from 6:00-7:30 pm (doors open at 5:30) at the The National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole. With the mission to inspire and connect women to thrive as leaders, Womentum’s inspiration for the panel comes from the Department of State’s 2024 Women in Politics briefing which calls out the dramatic underrepresentation of women in political office, comprising just 25-33% depending on the level of government.

A 2024 Pew Research Center report points to many ‘major obstacles’ that contribute to such disparity, including:

• Women receive less encouragement from friends and family, as well as political leaders, who are also less likely to recruit women.
• Family responsibilities are not shared equally between women and men, leaving less bandwidth for women to serve. Also, having children was reported by 48% to hurt a woman’s chances of being elected, while 28% say it helps a man’s chances.

March Onward will combat the Pew Research statistics by giving attendees an understanding of how we can support each other in stepping forward to actively shape policy and our future. Our esteemed panelists are:
