Her Power! is currently accepting applications for a four-month leadership program for women with disabilities ages 20 - 35 interested in serving on board of directors of a nonprofit organization.

There are many ways to share your knowledge and take on leadership roles in our community. One way is to serve on a board. This leadership program is for women with disabilities ages 20- 35 who want to serve on a board. This program is aimed at women who have not served on a board before. Applications will be accepted from individuals that have served on a board in the past or are currently on a board but feel lost in the process or feel like their voice isn’t currently being heard.

Together we will explore topics such as:

- Vision to Goal: Taking the Leap to Apply
- Robert’s Rules: How to get your voice heard in the land of Robert’s rules
- Deciding where you want to serve: Disability specific or non-disability specific
- Disability pride, rejecting shame, and giving the diplomatic (or not) middle finger to ableism
- Who are we representing? Remember your community and allyship
- Yes you are ready- imposter syndrome and taking a seat at the table
- Financial documents: how to read them and how to understand them

This program will select 8 - 10 participants, and more than half the participants will be from Michigan.

This program is to increase the number of women with disabilities who are represented on boards. Women includes cis-women, trans-women, femme/feminine-identifying,  genderqueer, and non-binary folks. We want to include all individuals that believe that their identity advances this goal. If you believe that is you. We welcome you to apply.

Attend virtually 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm Eastern Time on the following dates:
-June 8th and 9th
-July 13th or 14th
-August 17th and 18th
