Vision2020 is a national coalition of organizations and individuals united in the commitment to achieve women's economic and social equality. Vision 2020 works with National Allies that represent over 20 million women and girls and National Delegates that represent all 50 states. We have four national goals:
1.
Shared Leadership: Men and women are equally represented in senior leadership positions.
2.
Economic Parity: Equal pay and benefits make women and families more economically secure.
3.
Civic Engagement: Women are engaging in civic issues, voting and running for office.
4.
Youth Education: Boys and girls value gender equality, shared leadership and civic engagement.
Mission Statement for Vision 2020 Chapters
Vision 2020 Campus Chapters carry the unique responsibility of promoting the mission of Vision 2020 and our four national goals to the next generation of leaders through educational workshops and events.
These chapters strive to engage their respective campuses by developing programming to educate the next generation of men and women leaders:
• To learn about and promote the four national goals of Vision 2020 on their respective campuses and engage their peers in interactive conversations and action steps.
• To form a network of strong, confident and intelligent leaders, both men and women, who are looking to build a better future for women, girls and their community.
As a Vision 2020 Chapter, you will work to promote these goals on your campus through events, workshops, and other outlets you find appropriate. As young leaders, we instill confidence in our
Chapter members by allowing them the liberty to design their own programs and projects, with the approval and assistance of the national office. Please refer to the activities and fundraising proposal sections of this handbook for suggestions, and the Vision 2020 event proposal form in the appendix when you are ready to get started.

DATE
Dear Vision 2020 Junior Delegate,
Thank you for your participation in Vision 2020! We are pleased to acknowledge your role as
Junior Delegate of a Vision 2020 Campus Chapter and wish to provide specific criteria to aid you in the development and sustainability of your Vision 2020 Campus Initiatives.
Vision 2020 is a project established within Drexel University College of Medicine by the Institute for Women’s Health and Leadership. As such, it is bound by the nonprofit laws governing academic institutions. While we encourage College Chapters to take part in civic affairs, please be mindful not to engage in partisan activities of lobbying in the name of Vision 2020 that could jeopardize the tax-
exempt status of the University or its Affiliates or subsidiaries.
The Institute for Women’s Health and Leadership will review all Campus Chapter projects before and after their implementation. Review and monitoring will provide an opportunity to reflect on our collective progress and to report successes. The general guidelines for review will include: o
Does the project address the national goals of Vision 2020? o
Does the project support educating fellow peers of the mission of Vision 2020? o
Is the proposed project well organized? o
Is the project specific, measurable and time bound?
As you know, your role as a Junior Delegate with Vision 2020 is without monetary compensation and you are responsible for all private, professional and related activities in which you engage. We do, however, encourage you to use your Campus Chapter title and the Vision 2020 logos in connection with your project. We ask that you work with us to prevent Vision 2020 and its parent institution from being misrepresented in any domain.
Our role within the Vision 2020 national office is to convene and connect you with one another, with other affiliates and any external opportunities or sources of insight that relate to your projects. We will also actively consult with you on the development of your projects. Moreover, we will keep you informed of the overall progress and highlight Vision 2020’s success stories through newsletters and out own websites.
Your term as Junior Delegate begins when you accept our offer to align with Vision 2020 to advance gender equality and will continue with us for a two year term. At the end of your term, your chapter will be given the opportunity to renew your commitment or recommend your successor.
Please acknowledge your agreement with the conditions set forth in this memorandum by signing and dating the enclosed copy of this letter and returning it to the Institute for Women’s Health and
Leadership, Drexel University College of Medicine, 2900 Queen Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19129, Attention:
Carolyn Lynch. If you have any questions about this appointment, please call Carolyn Lynch at (215) 991-
8831.
Thank you for your service. We look forward to working with you!
