Nearly two dozen female undergraduates, representing six Idaho colleges and universities, recently spent a week in Boise attending NEW Leadership Idaho. This program is a political "bootcamp" designed to encourage more women to become leaders in their community and to run for political office. Boise State hosted the residential workshop, with students living on campus and attending a minimum of 10 hours a day in workshops then returning to the dorms for independent and group work.
The bipartisan curriculum is based on a program developed by the
Center for American Women in Politics (CAWP) but has been adapted to include training specific to Idaho. For example, Idaho's program emphasizes local leadership in the form of nonprofit work and participation in city and county politics as opposed to CAWP's more targeted goal of encouraging women to run for higher office.
Director Lori Hausegger points out that public service leadership is needed at all levels and for many women, the starting point is local.
College of Southern Idaho was represented by
Daiana Ruth Justiniano Serrano, who is studying Political Science and wants to go to law school and focus on immigration. Justiniano Serrano was motivated to attend NEW Leadership by a desire to have a better understanding of politics, which she states is "completely overwhelming." At the same time she recognizes the importance of understanding the role of politics in business, education, laws, communication and more. She believes that "one of the most important duties of a citizen is to vote" and was involved in a campaign last fall to register people to vote in the Twin Falls city council elections.
