Women Professionals in Government

Past President Reception

Dear Esteemed Former President:

It is with great pleasure that I extend an invitation to you for our inaugural Past

Presidents’ Reception honoring the contributions and leadership of past presidents.

Women Professionals in Government (WPG) was founded in 1981 by Mary Dipboye a

graduate of the University of Houston with a Master’s Degree in Public

Administration. After taking a government relations job at Houston Lighting & Power

(now Reliant Energy), she decided to form an organization for women with careers in

government. The organization offers a network to provide knowledge, skills, and support

for career growth for working in the field of government throughout the Greater Houston

Area. Since its’ beginning, WPG has become a well-noted 501c3 organization with a

diverse membership of women and men elected officials, directors, managers, and staff

members working in city, county, and state government positions. Your tenure as President

added to the rich history of this organization that continues to flourish today. The

membership thought it was important that we use this moment to acknowledge and honor

your contributions.

The event will take place on January 9, 2025, 6:00 PM, at Gloria’s Latin Cuisine,

2616 Louisiana St., Houston, Texas 77006. This grand event aims to celebrate the legacy

of those who have shaped our organization and to foster connections among our esteemed

former leaders. We will also honor our Life Members as well as recognize the Fall 2024

Scholarship recipients.

We would be honored to have you join us for an evening of fellowship, reflection,

and appreciation. Please RSVP by December 18, 2024, to ensure we

can accommodate all our distinguished guests. Thank you for your continued dedication

and service to Women Professionals in Government. We look forward to celebrating with

you.
