2019 WOMEN’S FOREIGN POLICY GROUP 9 The Women’s Foreign Policy Group publishes the Guide to Women Leaders in International Affairs to highlight women leaders shaping foreign policy around the world. The Guide provides an index of prominent women from across the international community, including heads of state and government, government ministers, leaders of international organizations and corporations, American officials and diplomats, and women representatives to the US and the UN. This free publication is available online at www.wfpg.org. The WFPG advances women’s leadership in international affairs and amplifies their voices through substantive global issue discussions and mentoring. Founded in 1995, WFPG works tirelessly to expand the foreign policy dialogue across political divides and generations, and to support women at every stage of their careers. As champions of women’s leadership, we are proud of our role in expanding the constituency in international affairs by convening global experts and creating a vital network of women with diverse backgrounds and experience. Through mentoring and career development programs, we connect aspiring leaders with role models, providing students and young professionals with the tools they need for career advancement and to contribute to a stronger, more peaceful, and equitable society. WFPG’s frequent, in-depth global issues forums feature women thought leaders and news-makers from government, journalism, diplomacy, and academia. Our programming takes members beyond the headlines and provides context for key global challenges. WFPG is a nonpartisan, independent, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
