About Women In Government Foundation, Inc.

Women In Government Foundation, Inc., based in Washington, DC, is a premier organization dedicated to empowering female state legislators through comprehensive leadership development and policy expertise. With over 30 years of experience working directly with state legislators, state agency representatives, and public stakeholders, the organization convenes women lawmakers with expert stakeholders to amplify their legislative impact and advance complex policy solutions.

The foundation offers a robust suite of professional services designed to strengthen women legislators' effectiveness in their roles. These include hosting annual educational conferences, state briefings, and specialized policy events that address critical national issues across multiple sectors. Women In Government provides extensive resource materials and legislative toolkits covering key policy areas including healthcare access, maternal and infant health, mental health, substance use disorders, energy and waste management, human services, technology infrastructure, business and commerce, disability employment, and workforce development.

Governance by a bipartisan Board of Directors composed of 13 currently serving female state legislators ensures the organization remains grounded in practical legislative experience. The foundation supports member participation through legislative travel scholarships funded by corporate sponsors, foundations, and state and federal grants, enabling legislators to access presentations from nationally recognized experts and network with peers. Women In Government's commitment to non-partisan collaboration creates a unique forum where Democratic and Republican women legislators can share best practices, develop innovative policy solutions, and address the nation's most pressing public policy challenges.
