Women make up over 50% of Michigan’s population, but just 16% of the state's local chief admin officers.

Join @MMLeague's @1650Project next Tuesday (3/29) and meet the force of women leading communities in Michigan.

With @FordSchool P3E, @CLOSUP, and @UMich Democracy & Debate.

In honor #InternationalWomensDay I'm promoting the @1650Project - having real results increasing the # of women in local govt executive positions through training, mentoring, and promotion of field. I remember when I thought women couldn't be CMs. I'm glad that is changing!

[The 16/50 Project @1650Project]

This #InternationalWomensDay, we're thinking about women leaders - especially the ones in local government. Together we're forging equity for women and paving the way for future leaders to come. Learn more at https://t.co/j8r7vMh47N. #BreakTheBias #SheLeadsGov #IWD2022 @MMLeague
