President’s Message

Greetings! I’m Michelle Crim, your 2024 Women’s Policy Forum president. I’m glad you’re part of our organization, which was founded in 1987 as a way to bring together Tarrant County women who are leaders in the home, in business, in government, and in nonprofit agencies. 

Women's Policy Forum is a non-partisan educational and networking organization. I’m so glad you have made time in your schedule for Women’s Policy Forum. Our monthly programs, annual symposium, and mentoring opportunities are a great use of your valuable time. 

As the saying goes, “if you want something done, ask a busy women.” We are a multi-generation group of talented and experienced women who investigate and support policies and initiatives that will create positive change for Tarrant County women and our community.
