California Women Lead

Our Story

In 1974, a groundbreaking movement took shape in California as visionary women leaders recognized the urgent need for change. Faced with a male-dominated power structure and a lack of representation, these remarkable women refused to accept the status quo. This fierce determination led to the formation of the California Elected Women's Association for Education & Research (CEWAER), the first organization of its kind in the nation, dedicated to supporting and empowering women seeking leadership positions. In 2007, CEWAER was renamed California Women Lead to better reflect its mission. Today, California Women Lead continues to provide essential training and support for women aspiring to achieve high-level career positions and successfully run for office.

Impact

California Women Lead remains the only statewide, nonpartisan women’s organization committed to empowering women in the political arena.
