Who We Are...
We are a group of women leaders dedicated to making Arlington a better place to live, work, and play through our active involvement in local issues and elections. We contribute to public discourse about policy issues in our community. We identify and support specific issues and candidates who promote long term solutions, not short term fixes for Arlington. We do not engage in partisan politics, endorse or otherwise support partisan political affairs; but we do endorse candidates in municipal elections.
