The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Women's
Congressional Policy Institute in the search for a Senior Director
of Development and Communications to design and implement a
comprehensive development strategy for foundation, corporate, and
individual annual giving and major gifts.
Reporting to the President, the Women’s Congressional Policy
Institute (WCPI) is a nonpartisan public policy organization whose
mission is to bring together a community of bipartisan women
policymakers and trusted partners to advance issues of importance
to women, develop the next generation of women leaders, and foster
a more effective and representative democracy. WCPI was established
in 1995 after the House of Representatives voted to eliminate the
staff and funding for all caucus organizations, including the
Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues. It fills a critical role
in the policy and advocacy community. As a nonprofit, it does not
lobby or take positions on legislation or policy.
While not formally affiliated with the bipartisan Women’s Caucus,
for nearly 30 years WCPI has worked to strengthen and expand the
capacity of the Caucus through its briefings and meetings for women
Members of Congress and their staff, with the aim to bring them
closer together across party lines and to encourage bipartisan
policy priorities to advance issues of interest to women and
families. These include women’s health, international issues, 21st
century workforce development issues, as well as events to
strengthen relationships among women. Its congressional briefings
are free and open to the public. WCPI also produces Weekly
Legislative Update, which is a free publication that provides
information about legislative actions affecting women and their
families.
More recently, WCPI has been working to build and expand the
pipeline of young women leaders through its congressional
fellowship program, internship program, and special events. The
“Joint Session” program is a bicameral, bipartisan program for
women chiefs of staff, committee staff directors, and senior
leadership staff that provides opportunities for networking and
professional development among senior women leaders on Capitol
Hill. These efforts are contributing to improving the functioning
of Congress as an institution.
Women's Congressional Policy Institute is committed to core values
that, along with its mission, guide its work and shape the culture
of the organization. It is committed to bipartisanship. Encouraging
policy priorities that span the partisan divide helps it foster
solutions important to all women. It is committed to cultivating
women’s leadership. While a record number of women currently serve
in Congress, there remains a dearth of women in leadership
positions in the public policy arena. WCPI seeks to empower women
to lead on Capitol Hill and in public policy. It is committed to
representative democracy.
A bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of experience and
education is required for this position as is at least seven years
of fundraising or external relations experience. Capitol Hill
experience is a plus. All applications must be accompanied by a
cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should be responsive to the
mission of the Women's Congressional Policy Institute as well as
the responsibilities and qualifications stated in the
prospectus.
The salary range for this position is $110,000 to $130,000
annually.
Preference will be given to applications received by March 2,
2023.
