Program areas at The Policy Circle

We inform a broad, diverse, and dispersed audience using Policy briefs, virtual programs, and robust social channels. In 2022, Policy Circle briefs garnered 260,000 views, our website had 20 million impressions, and we expanded our social reach by 60%. We curate our resources from a variety of vetted sources to share valuable perspectives and highlight innovative solutions. We collaborate with respected think tanks, best-selling authors, innovative business leaders, and Policy experts to provide our community with cutting-edge research, reliable information, and actionable next steps.
We identify and equip leaders through The civic leadership engagement roadmap (cler). This flexible framework has attracted 263 women - both established and emerging leaders. Cler is a three-month virtual program that includes assignments that require participants to engage with their local community leaders to develop town hall relationships. In only two years since its launch, cler is already producing results - women are securing high-level appointments to task forces and commissions and successfully running for local office. The Policy Circle's state leadership councils, manned by volunteer leaders, plan local programming and state-based initiatives to strengthen The impact and reach of our mission
We attract independent thinkers and civic-minded women who are revitalizing civil society by convening and hosting roundtable conversations in 45 states. With 11,000 members in our broader community, we are seeing a reawakening amongst citizens who crave connection and collaborative solutions to The issues facing their communities. From living rooms to board rooms, our growing community is convening stakeholders for constructive, civil conversations. The Policy Circle's annual leadership summit gathers members, supporters, and partners for a catalytic experience. In 2022, more than 860 participants engaged in person and virtually to discover what makes communities thrive.
