Professional Development Series

WIN's Professional Development Series (PDS) tackles many of the important questions and situations that arise for aspiring progressive leaders. The PDS series focuses on four distinct tracks: WINning Campaigns, WINning Communications, WINning Financially, and WINning Professionally.

PDS events are exclusively for WIN members as a benefit to joining WIN. We strive to ensure that all WIN members have access to unique professional development events to ensure members are successful, savvy and competitive in Washington. Speakers include members of WIN's Advisory Council, Sustainers, and other leading Washington women speakers for these informative and interactive discussions.
