Women Impacting Public Policy
About Women Impacting Public Policy
Founded in June 2001, Women Impacting Public Policy serves as a vital advocacy organization for women entrepreneurs throughout the nation, headquartered in Washington, DC. WIPP was built on the conviction that women-owned businesses deserve a powerful voice in shaping America's public policy and economic opportunities. The organization operates as a nonpartisan forum where women entrepreneurs can unite around shared economic interests, educating members about policy developments while collectively advocating for systemic changes that support business growth and sustainability. WIPP's community of women business owners works together to address the unique challenges facing their enterprises, from healthcare affordability to federal contracting barriers. By forging meaningful alliances with other business organizations, WIPP amplifies the perspectives and priorities of its members in Washington, DC policy circles. The organization's selective focus on economically-relevant issues demonstrates its commitment to delivering genuine value to women entrepreneurs rather than pursuing a scattered agenda. Since its inception, WIPP has built a reputation as a trusted partner for women-owned businesses seeking to understand complex policy landscapes and contribute meaningfully to legislative discussions. The organization's nonpartisan stance creates space for diverse voices within the women entrepreneurship community, fostering collaboration and mutual support among members. WIPP represents more than just an advocacy group—it embodies a movement of women entrepreneurs committed to creating lasting economic opportunity and influence.
