In partnership with MU Extension, United WE has launched Show-Me R.E.D.I., a new initiative to help Missouri women take a seat at the civic table. The 10-week course – offered at no charge – will help women prepare for an appointment to a board or commission, or run for elected office.
Course Overview: For each module, there will be self-directed online classwork. Example: View a video or read an article on the weekly subject, participate in class discussion board. Following this effort, there will be a weekly lunch and learn with guest speakers and more content review.
Learning Outcomes: Increased preparedness for Missouri women to take on leadership positions – in appointed and elected offices. An expanded network of other female leaders and mentors.
