Malliotakis named director of women legislators group
A nationwide organization that works to provide more opportunities for female lawmakers is getting some Brooklyn-style input. Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis has been named by the National Foundation for Women Legislators to serve as its New York state director.
Founded in 1938, the National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) works with female lawmakers across the country at the local, county and state government levels. The nonprofit organization holds seminars and forums to encourage women who hold elective office to seek leadership roles within their legislative bodies and to work across the aisle on bipartisan solutions to issues.
The NFWL offers its members governance strategies through conferences, state outreach, educational materials, professional and personal relationships and networking.
