The Senator Wynona Lipman Chair in Women's Political Leadership
is made possible by the generous support of the New Jersey Legislature

Senator Wynona Lipman Chair in Women’s Political Leadership
In January 2000, New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman signed legislation creating the Senator Wynona Lipman Chair in Women’s Political Leadership at the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), a unit of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Sponsored by the legislative leaders in both parties, the legislation passed both houses without opposition. The Legislature has generously continued its support for the Lipman Chair.

The Chair is intended to celebrate Senator Lipman, remind people of her achievements, and encourage others to follow in the footsteps of this path-breaking African American woman leader. An advisory committee, including members of Senator Lipman’s family, members of the New Jersey legislature, and former members of the Senator’s staff, has worked with CAWP to make the chair a success. CAWP is grateful to the Governor, the legislature, and advisory committee members for their commitment to honoring Senator Lipman’s memory and advancing women’s leadership.
