The WIFLE Executive Leadership Institute (WELI) was established to not only bring attention to issues that affect women within organizations in the United States and in the world but explore potential solutions. We believe that when issues that underutilize or obstruct the skills, knowledge, leadership, and vision that women bring to the workplace and the community are challenged and resolved, society as a whole will benefit. Therefore, our goal is to examine and explore ideas that improve quality of life for all.

The purpose of WELI training and information sharing is to make government leadership aware of the challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities co-sponsored by the U.S. Departments of Justice and Treasury. inherent and unique to each organizational leadership team. To be prepared to lead, to become a change agent, and to accomplish the agency’s mission are skills expected of each leader. The Institute will further that expectation by challenging the inner self to accomplish greater goals that effectively help all women. Since women are the most underrepresented group in law enforcement and are marginalized in certain societies, WELI will demonstrate that women and men in leadership positions who advocate for their fellow women can originate real change. Mission efficiency and, in turn, delivery of services to a community are improved when consensus is built through the involvement and participation of all.

The WIFLE Foundation, Inc., incorporated in 2006, is the educational entity providing for the Annual Leadership Training, the Scholarship Program, research, and other programs to benefit women in the federal law enforcement arena. The WIFLE Foundation, Inc. Scholarship Fund provides scholarship monies to students and members pursuing educational opportunities in law enforcement related fields.
