CLARE BOOTHE LUCE2017CALENDARPOLICY INSTITUTEGREAT AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE WOMEN
2017Dear Friends,You know how important it is for courageous women to step up and speak out on behalfof your values. Young women need to learn not just conservative philosophy but alsothe importance of grace, honesty, values, personal and professional integrity, and theextraordinary uniqueness of America.As the upcoming generation matures and realizes that liberal policies - from abortion toout-of-control government - are hurting women, they are seeking out truth and mentorship.They need an alternative place to turn, rather than their radical leftwing campus “Women’sCenters.”This is why I founded the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute more than 24 years ago. Isought to create an organization unlike any in the Conservative Movement with its focusto train, support, and build strong conservative women. Today, our Institute educates andinspires tomorrow’s leaders.In a world where radical feminists and other leftists are promoted at every turn, CBLPI’s2017 “Great American Conservative Women” calendar provides real role models for ouryoung women. I am so grateful to our thousands of supporters who have a heart for youngwomen and help us promote articulate, strong, and gracious conservative ladies in ourcalendars. Each of these ladies speaks for CBLPI at our events and on college campuses.If you are interested in hosting a campus speaker, or if you know of a student who may beinterested, please contact us at (888) 891-4288. We are eager to help!Sincerely,President,Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute
