WIPP speaks with one voice for 9.1 million women business owners who employ 27.5 million workers and generate $3.6 trillion in annual revenues. WIPP is now the nation's largest bi-partisan public policy organization that advocates on behalf of women business owners, women in business and small businesses. In just three years, WIPP has grown to include over 500,000 members, over 29 Coalition Partners and is beginning to receive the backing of numerous corporations.
