WG–USA and the Action Network
Women Graduates–USA is a nonprofit organization whose members are college and university graduates, graduate students, doctoral candidates and post-doctoral researchers. As members of WG–USA, our members are also members of Graduate Women International; WG–USA is the US Affiliate of GWI. Our international perspective informs our advocacy for social and economic justice for all women and girls.
Women Graduates–USA is inspired by its members, governed by Policies, Procedures and Bylaws, and governed by the Board of Directors.
