National Advisory Council

The efforts of the Women's Economic Security Campaign are guided by an advisory council of national and local policy and program experts. The National Advisory Council provides input on key decisions, creates connections between WESC and field experts, helps identify policy and advocacy opportunities, and works with us to improve the economic security of women across the nation.
