Smart Women, Smart Power
SWSP is creating space for women in one of the most powerful decision-making spaces in the world: national security and foreign affairs
The Smart Women, Smart Power (SWSP) Initiative has a simple starting point: people are policy. We are committed to creating a platform for respectful and inclusive discussion of the many ways in which women influence and impact the international security, foreign policy and business agendas. The Smart Women, Smart Power Initiative launched in December 2014.
