History of the WLN
In 2006, a handful of IPG women set out to connect with colleagues and create a supportive and active network to increase opportunities for women at all levels across Interpublic. That idea became the WLN and has grown into a global network of thousands with a national organization and local chapters from Chicago to Shanghai. The WLN is dedicated to celebrating women’s achievements, promoting networking and career opportunities as well as mentoring programs for IPG women. All IPG employees are welcome.
