NYWA's mission is simple and powerful:

We are a coalition of women professionals and community activists who support the diversity and interests of New York women through collaboration, advocacy and education.

To advocate and collaborate for the interests of New York women in public policy decisions that affect our lives.

To increase women’s participation in public policy discussions on economic, political and social issues.

To support member organizations in their individual efforts.

NYWA's members represent the diversity of the city and include community groups; religious, ethnic, and political groups; professional associations; and issues-based groups. Through NYWA, these groups unite to work on issues of common interest and to advocate for public policy. Together, the voices of NYWA members work in concert to become one rousing chorus, impossible to ignore.
