About Women In Government Foundation, Inc.
Since its founding, Women In Government Foundation has served as a vital community for female state lawmakers across the nation, headquartered in Washington, DC. The organization's mission centers on empowering all women state legislators to lead and implement complex policy solutions by leveraging collective knowledge and peer wisdom. Built on the belief that women legislators are problem-solvers their states need, the foundation creates meaningful connections and professional relationships that transcend partisan boundaries.
What sets Women In Government apart is its foundation in authentic legislator leadership. The organization thrives under the voluntary, bipartisan guidance of currently serving women legislators who shape strategy and recruit new members, creating a community rooted in real legislative experience rather than external expertise alone. With opportunities for state-based leadership roles and a commitment to civil discourse in a non-partisan environment, the foundation provides women lawmakers with a supportive network where they can learn from diverse peers, share innovative ideas, and collaborate on effective public policy.
The organization's impact extends beyond individual conferences and events. Women In Government maintains comprehensive resource libraries featuring presentations, bill-sharing sessions, virtual policy roundtables, and webinars that members can access to address challenges in their states. By fostering an environment where women legislators prioritize peer learning and mutual support, the foundation strengthens not only individual lawmakers but also the quality of state governance across the country. Partners, including corporations, foundations, and government agencies, recognize the value of supporting this unique community dedicated to advancing women's leadership in government.
