The Problem

City management is one of the last male-dominated executive roles in public service.

Women who want to change that have ambition, education, and drive — but no single tool to navigate the path.

📂
Resources are scattered
ICMA, TML, TCMA, MPA programs, She Leads Gov — all valuable, none connected. You spend more time navigating the landscape than advancing your career.
🗺️
No roadmap exists
There's no clear, actionable path from "MPA student" to "City Manager." Everyone figures it out alone, by trial and error, over years.
📊
Progress disappears
Shadowing experiences, conference connections, internship applications, CAPCOG meetings — all logged in notebooks, emails, and memory. Nothing is tracked.
✨
Women Who Govern changes this
One beautiful, intelligent platform that maps your path, tracks your progress, connects your credentials, and travels with you from student to city manager.

The Platform

The Founder

I built Women Who Govern for myself because nothing like it existed. Then I realized every woman on this path needed it too.
