A key component of the NEW Leadership program is connecting our students with women leaders. When students meet these political women, they come to realize that political figures are not just stereotypes, but real women with interesting stories to tell about making a difference.

Over the years featured speakers at NEW Leadership have included:

Governor Christine Todd Whitman greets NEW Leadership students in the State Capitol.		Donna Brazile delivers the keynote address for NEW Leadership New Jersey 2005.

New Jersey State Senator Dianne Allen discusses some of the problems women face when running for the State Legislature.
Hazel Gluck, senior partner at MBI GluckShaw, speaks with students about her varied experience in local, county and state government.		Former Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm talks with students over lunch.
