Welcome to The Center for Women in Government

Welcome to The Center for Women in Government: "The gender gap in state policy leadership is greatest among state legislators. It is three times larger than the gender gap among top advisors in governors' offices, where the difference between the percentage of positions held by women and men is the smallest."

"Top advisors in governors' offices/department heads: Center for Women in Government & Civil Society Survey (data collected from February – May 1997); Center for Women in Government & Civil Society Survey (data collected from May - October 2004). Top advisors include policy-influencing titles such as chief of staff, legal advisor, and budget director. Department heads include heads of departments, agencies, offices, boards, commissions, and authorities. Only persons appointed by current governors are included".
