IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Circle Leadership Development & Growth: The Policy Circle strives to be a world-class organization built for growth. The Policy Circle invests in infrastructure that supports professional, repeatable, scalable processes to carry out its mission of educating the public, and specifically in 2018, women, on civil discourse, civic engagement, and public policy. The Policy Circle actively maintains and improves a previously developed platform, which is used to start a circle, manage the activities of a circle, and enable communication within a circle and between circles across a state and country, and provide access to all Policy Circle educational material. The Policy Circle continuously develops and improves our approach to foster grassroots growth of circles across the nation to reach and engage with women at large. This program delivers multimedia leadership, facilitation, networking tools, education and ongoing support to launch round-table discussions on public policy across the country. The number of circles has grown from 2 circles in 2015 to 216 circles at the end of 2018 in 37 states.
