Frequently Asked Questions about the Leaders Lineup
What is the Leaders Lineup of Teach a Girl to Lead™?
The Leaders Lineup is a virtual speakers’ bureau listing women public leaders committed to addressing young people about the role and importance of women’s full civic participation. As Marian Wright Edelman, founder of the Children’s Defense Fund said, “You can’t be what you can’t see.” The Leaders Lineup is a strategy to get more women leaders like you in front of our nation’s youth, so both girls and boys can see women as public leaders and so girls can imagine themselves following in your footsteps.
How do I sign up to be included in the Leaders Lineup?
If you are a current or former woman public official, simply complete and submit
this form. You will be automatically included on the list. To make changes to your entry or if you have any questions about your listing, please contact
Jean Sinzdak.
What do I commit to when I agree to be listed in the Leaders Lineup? Do I have to make a certain number of appearances?
When you sign up to be a part of the Leaders Lineup, you are simply stating that you are open to being contacted by organizations and schools to speak about your role as a current or former public leader. There is no commitment to speak at a specific event or for a specific number of events. This speakers’ bureau is intended mainly as a resource to encourage and make it easier for groups and organizations to find women public leaders who can speak at their programs.
Will I be compensated for my speaking engagements? Am I responsible for any travel costs or other expenses related to my speaking engagement?
All financial and logistical arrangements will be handled between the inviting organization and you or your office. Of course, you always have the option to turn down any invitation for whatever reason.
