Alaska Women Ascend (AWA) is a weekend-long “Get Elected” training for progressive women interested in running for office, managing campaigns, or driving community change. In 2025, AWA will be held in person October 10–12 at Alaska Pacific University to provide hands-on learning and meaningful networking. Eligible participants include progressive Alaska women* who are pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ rights, pro-union, anti-racist, and environmentally minded. *We welcome all who identify as women and/or are gender-expansive, regardless of sex assigned at birth. Trainers include Alaska women leaders—elected officials, campaign professionals, and advocates—offering expert sessions on social media, public speaking, endorsements, and more. Cost is $250, with scholarships available for participation and travel.
