About the Arizona Chapter of Women Leading Government

WLG Mission Statement:
“To help women succeed in public service by enhancing career-building models that develop leadership skills and by networking professional women in government.” 

Women Leading Government (WLG) is an initiative started in November 2006 by the Cal-ICMA Preparing the Next Generation committee. Organized by female managers of California’s cities, counties, and special districts, WLG is designed to assist female managers in their career development. WLG welcomes all people dedicated to public service and the development of women leaders.   In 2011, WLG approved an affiliation agreement with ICMA to strengthen mutual efforts in support of women in the profession. This agreement outlines the ties and collaborative relationship between WLG and ICMA. WLG’s goals are in alignment with ICMA’s and both organizations will seek even more opportunities to work together to foster professional management in local government.  In 2015, the Arizona Chapter of WLG was formed in partnership with the Arizona City/County Management Association.  In 2022 WLG incorporated as its own organization with a board of directors and bylaws. Since 2015, AZWLG has held 7 annual conferences. In 2022, the AZ WLG conference drew more than 500 aspiring government professionals and other attendees who support the AZWLG mission and purpose.
