Jo Ann Davidson Leadership Institute

The mission of the Jo Ann Davidson Leadership Institute is to increase the number of competent, Republican women in public and community service and party leadership by providing extensive training and support for our class members as they pursue their leadership goals. Accomplishing this mission will build an executive-level group of highly qualified, Republican women who are educated and motivated to assume key roles in politics, community and public service.

The Institute is an eight-month program. Each year, between 15 and 20 women leaders from across Ohio, who have an interest in politics and public service and who meet a diverse range of criteria for participation, are selected to join the Institute's current class.

Graduates of the Institute, which was founded in 2000, are part of an extensive network of Republican women, who serve as a resource to each other and as mentors for the next generation of Republican women. To meet our graduates, click here.
