As in most industries, women are under-represented as senior leaders within the world of public affairs. There are some incredibly successful and inspirational women who have made it to the top, but many more aspire to get there and struggle to achieve it. The Women in Public Affairs Network (WiPA) was launched in 2012 by Ella Fallows and Laura Gilmore as an opportunity for women from across the industry to come together in an informal setting to share experiences, offer advice and support, and explore how we can work together to build a more diverse and representative public affairs industry.
Now in its eleventh year, Women in Public Affairs is a well-established forum for women at all stages of their careers and we have approximately 2000 members. We continue to focus on providing useful and interesting events with outstanding speakers which inform, inspire and support public affairs practitioners throughout their careers. In collaboration with Opinium, we have also produced an annual survey of the industry for the last four years. According to WiPA’s 2022 survey (published in January 2023), only 12% of female public affairs professionals identify as an ethnic minority. You can find a full list of WiPA committee members here. WiPA can be found on twitter @WomenInPA and on LinkedIn at Women in Public Affairs (WiPA).
