About Us

The Organization for Women Empowerment (OWE-CSA) comprises women in the Council of School Supervisors and Administrators (CSA). This organization marches under the umbrella of our union CSA, which represents over 6,500 principals, assistant principals, supervisors and educational administrators who work in the NYC public schools and 200 directors and assistant directors who work in city-subsidized centers for early childhood education. CSA also has more than 11,500 members in its retiree chapter. The core purpose of OWE-CSA is to advocate, support, and encourage women to exercise their fundamental human right to enjoy equity and have a voice and a seat at the table.

Our Vision

The Vision of OWE-CSA is to co-create opportunities for women and future generations to lift each other as they collectively use their knowledge, lived experiences, skills, creativity, and talents to inspire and achieve transformational change and gender equality in education and society.

Our Mission

The mission of OWECSA is to advocate, support, and encourage women to be actively involved in the decision-making process in their communities, to inform policy rooted in gender equality, while ensuring that they are equipped with the resources needed to excel as leaders.
