WOMEN IMPACTING PUBLIC POLICY

If Women Business Owners were their own country, we would be the 5th largest GDP in the world!  We have a strong collective voice that impacts government and public policy at a local, regional, and national level. 

At WXW and WIPP’s (Women Impacting Public Policy) event, attendees will hear stories and lessons learned from a panel of well-known women who’ve held government positions.  The panel, which includes Jennifer Bisceglie President of Interos, Nicole Nystrom CEO of Midwest Strategy Group, Debbie Dingell President of A2 Strategies and Shannon Garrett Great Lakes Regional Director of The White House Project will be moderated by Mary Kramer, Publisher of Crain's Detroit Business. 

After the panel, Barbara Kasoff, President of WIPP, will discuss how business women can become involved and politically active.

Attendees will then decide on their area of interest (energy, environment, procurement, local government, etc.) and attend interactive sessions with legislators and public figures.

Finally, we'll wrap up the event with a happy hour full of hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, and stellar networking.
