With our home in the nation's capital, WIHS is fortunate to have a number of distinguished and nationally known partners. Washington, DC has so much to offer and WIHS strives to engage all of the wonderful opportunities here. With cultural partners like Smithsonian and The Kennedy Center to our relationships with the mounted police and charitable organizations, we work hand in hand with our community. If you or your organization would like to work with WIHS as a partner, please contact Diana Hosford at dianahosford@wihs.org.
