Massachusetts Government Appointments Project (MassGAP) focuses on political appointments for women - July 23, 2006 - A group of women have launched the Massachusetts Government Appointments Project (MassGAP), an organization dedicated to getting talented women into top government jobs.  Often political appointments, both paid and unpaid, give women the experience and contacts needed to run for higher office.  The Center for American Women in Politics, at Rutgers University in New Jersey, is part of a similar program.  In both states, the objective is  identify qualified women who may be outside the "old boys" political networks.
