WELCOME TO THE
METROPOLITAN
WOMEN'S
DEMOCRATIC CLUB
The Metropolitan Women’s Democratic Club (MWDC) was organized in March 1960. MWDC supports and espouses the tenets of the Democratic Party and is engaged in every level of the Democratic structure. Always in the forefront of political action, the women of MWDC understand that only through continued activities and participation can goals be realized and achieved. Since its inception, MWDC has had a strong, recognizable voice in the community.
​
It has grown in presence and leadership, and its members have been inspired and empowered through the women on whose shoulders they stand.
