Success Stories

Women's Success Stories Do you have a great story to share with WLG about a woman’s success in local government? We would love to hear your story. Perhaps it is a story about a pioneer female in our field or a role model who has inspired you. Perhaps it is your very own story of how you overcame a significant obstacle in public service. Whatever your story, we would love to hear from you. Email us a story no more than 500 words and a photograph of yourself or the subject matter. While WLG doesn’t pay for your stories, the value to you in knowing your story may inspire someone or help someone struggling in her career is priceless. So start writing!
