				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Middlebury College recently received a Campus Action Project grant from the <em>Elect Her: Campus Women Win</em> initiative sponsored by the American Association of University Women. This program aims to empower female college students to run for positions in student government. Currently, only 36% of our student government is comprised of women. In addition, only one woman has been elected president of Middlebury College’s SGA in the last ten years.  The <em>Elect Her</em> initiative tries to reverse this trend. Women who run for student government are also more likely to consider running for office after college.</p>
<p>The American Association of University Women in conjunction with <em>Running Start</em> will be facilitating a daylong workshop in early March. This workshop will give female students the tools to run a successful political campaign.</p>
<p>We are turning to faculty today to reap the maximum benefits of this grant. We are asking faculty to consider <strong>nominating up to five highly motivated</strong> <strong>female students</strong> who would benefit from this experience. <em>Elect Her</em> is open to any young woman who is interested in developing leadership skills-not just those who are interested in political office.</p>
<p>The Elect Her Planning Committee in partnership with the Chellis House, the college’s women’s resource center, would be very grateful if you could send in your nominations by <strong>December 7th</strong>.  Nominations can be sent to the Elect Her Planning Committee at rabdelhamid@middlebury.edu.  We will be in contact with the nominees ourselves.  Feel free to contact us via email with any further questions.<br />

<p>Thank you so much for your time. We look forward to hearing from you.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
