About the Organization
Network of enlightened Women (NeW), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is the nation’s premier organization for conservative university women. With chapters on campuses and in cities across the country, NeW educates, equips, and empowers women to be principled leaders for a free society.

NeW offers exclusive educational, leadership, and networking opportunities for women who are serious about spreading conservative principles on their campus and in their community. Our leaders understand that the principles of liberty and freedom are important in whatever path of life they choose, and they go on to serve their communities and families as nurses, businesswomen, lawyers, doctors, teachers, or stay-at-home moms, among other paths.
