Political appointments are an integral part of national security and foreign policy leadership. As we prepare for the next presidential transition, LCWINS will host a series of webinars to help more women pursue, prepare for, and succeed in these pivotal roles.

This "Political Appointments: Managing for Success" session highlights what success looks like for political appointees. You'll hear from LCWINS Leadership Council member Virginia Blaser, a former State Department official who'll distill 30+ years of experience into a handful of tactics to help women manage and lead for success. Love Rutledge, a senior executive in the Department of Defense, will guide the discussion with the kinds of keen questions that drive her popular FedUpward Podcast.

This one-hour discussion surfaces some of the most important leadership lessons learned through our speakers' decades of public service and leverages the collective experience and feedback of former appointees in the bipartisan LCWINS community.
