NPGA Women in Propane Council Now A National Chapter of WINLPG

Washington, D.C., July 12, 2018 – Women in Propane (WIP) Council has signed an agreement to become an official National Chapter of the Women in LPG (WINLPG), a global network managed by the World LPG Association (WLPGA).

With fully-supportive and compatible missions, the two organizations are pleased to announce this step in their already-close affiliation. WINLPG supports and helps empower women in the industry by providing leadership, coaching, mentoring, and role models to enable a change in organizational attitude to become more inclusive for all genders at all levels. As a National Chapter of WINLPG, Women in Propane agrees to support WINLPG’s three pillars of objectives:

1. Support and retain women in the industry via a unique global network

2. Promotion and advocacy via role models, case studies, international media and events

3. Educate and attract women to the industry

The WIP business council is a successful, existing network in the United States. As a WINLPG National Chapter, WIP is welcomed and given full support by the global body. The new interconnection will help create a wider outreach to members and potential members worldwide. Other National Chapters of WINLPG include India, Nigeria, and South Africa.

Both the WIP and WINLPG organizations are focused on the issue of improving diversity in the LPG workforce. The mutual agreement does not alter the existing management or governance of NPGA’s Women in Propane Council.
