About Us
The Women’s Institute of Houston was founded in 1951 by Mr. and Mrs. Dean Richardson, in cooperation with community members who were dedicated to offering continuing opportunities for educational experiences.
In 1956 The Women's Institute was chartered as a non-profit educational organization, and the present dual program began to take shape. This program consists of the Cultural Studies Program and Sunday Lectures, a group of courses given by local university professors that are tailored to fit into the hectic schedules of modern life; and the Lecture Luncheon Series, which brings authorities who discuss an aspect of their field of expertise in a single presentation.
The following is a list of individuals who continue the mission of the Women's Institute of Houston:
