About WISE Houston

Founded in 2016. WISE Houston is a 501c(3) non-profit organization formed in Texas, both governed and operated by a local Board of Directors. All WISE Houston Board Members and WISE Houston Committee Members are volunteers. We are affiliated with WISE National through a licensing agreement.

WISE National, governed by the National Board of Directors, leads the overarching strategy and provides resources accessible to all members, while each WISE chapter elects its own board to carry out WISE’s mission at the local level. Chapters provide programming and valuable networking opportunities in their region and work with the National Board to deliver WISE initiatives such as the WISE Within Mentor Program and signature events.
