In all of our activities, we seek to fully inform ourselves and the community to constructively foster policies and government practices that maintain or improve the quality of life in Los Altos. We seek out talented, accomplished women who might consider running for local office, applying for a city commission or leading a civic project. We conduct local candidate forums and programs to educate the public about local concerns. We sometimes publicly endorse candidates in local elections and take positions on issues.
LAWC was founded and continues to operate on a steering committee model. Currently we are not adding members.
We welcome your ideas and participation in our events, and invite you to join our mailing list to receive information.

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily difference we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee. ~ Marion Wright Edelman
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed its the only thing that ever has. ~ Margaret Mead
We never know how high we are Till we are called to rise; And then, if we are true to plan, Our statures touch the skies. ~ Emily Dickinson
