Eleanor's Legacy

News & Events

ERLC hosts events throughout the year across New York State addressing current issues and topics concerning women in politics today. Our events feature women who currently hold office willing to share their personal experiences on the campaign trail as well as insights into how to move up the ladder once in office. We also often feature women in the world of academics who outline their groundbreaking research on women running for and winning public office. Annually we honor leaders and elected officials at our spring fundraisers in Albany and Manhattan as well as our Annual Fall Luncheon which draws over 1,000 women. For candidates or women looking for political training we encourage you to sign-up now for an upcoming campaign school and develop the skills to win. Our events are open to all and we hope you will join us and invite friends to one of upcoming events!
