Our Mission

We are dedicated to empowering women to lead with confidence and effectiveness in their professional and personal lives.

By fostering meaningful connections among women in government roles, offering expert guidance in communication strategies, and creating a lasting, supportive framework, we aim to be a trusted resource for growth and leadership in the municipal field.

How It Started: Our Women In Government Summit

CCM’s first Connecticut Women in Government Summit is an opportunity to connect with the women in government who drive Connecticut town and city services to help make our state thrive. It is a valuable opportunity to learn how to be successful in your work environment through networking opportunities, in-person training, and our keynote speaker.

Watch the Women In Government episode on CCM's Municipal Voice featuring, Annatouchur Kingland and Donna Hamzy Carroccia to learn more about the history of our women in government project, what they looked forward to in the 2025 Women In Government Summit, and what we hope to achieve in our future endeavors.

The 2026 Women in Government

This event is intended to empower and educate women who work in government. With opportunities to network with colleagues, attendees can build community with one another.
