Mission and Program Overview
Mission
To create custom-built comprehensive communications solutions for clients big and small in a wide variety of industries all around the world. Use a deep understanding of the issues of the day and people behind them to communicate effectively with policymakers, journalists, influencers, consumers, and voters alike.
Wispa's mission is 1. To sponsor and organize non-partisan discussions of issues of the day, primarily through salon dinners and lunches intended to educate, inform and offer room for debate among the guests; these events typically include an expert speaker who, after presenting, is cross examined by members of the audience. 2. Act as a recipient of grant money on behalf of a few select scholars, to whom (in contrast to their university or other affiliations) it conveys the funds without taking a fee.
