Mission Statement
Women Professionals in Government, a 501c3 organization, meets on the first Thursday of every month at the Houston Club to have lunch, network, and hear an outstanding community leader.   The meetings are open to city, county, state, and federal professional women, as well as men, who work in or with government. 

The Corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, educational and social welfare purposes to facilitate the development of a support network among members interested in government and public policy, to impart knowledge and skills essential to career growth in government and public policy, to provide scholarship opportunities to young women pursuing degrees in government and public policy, to provide grant funding to agencies serving women and/or children and for any and all lawful activities deemed to be in the best interest of its membership as long as these activities do not contradict the non-profit, and politically nonpartisan basis of this organization.

For more information on the organization of WPG and the role of the board, please see the bylaws.
