DALLAS, TX - Through its WOMEN ON THEIR WAY(TM)program, Wyndham International, Inc. (AMEX:WBR) is bolstering the efforts of women in business by becoming the official partner of Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP), a national bi-partisan public policy organization representing more than 500,000 diverse women in business and women business owners.

Wyndham's partnership with WIPP centers on sponsoring Black Women Enterprises (BWE), a 1,300-member, non-profit group that provides technical support and access to financial assistance for its members. Wyndham will expand BWE's presence by sponsoring all its members to become part of WIPP throughout 2003, giving them access to legislative updates and the latest news affecting women in business. Additionally, Wyndham is funding BWE as an official Association Coalition Member of WIPP for the remainder of the year.

"Wyndham recognizes the issues facing all women in the business world, especially minorities, and by guaranteeing recognition on the national level, we will create a more balanced business environment," said Cary Jehl Broussard, vice president of WOMEN ON THEIR WAY marketing.

Thanks to Wyndham's support, BWE's voice as a whole will continue to be heard on Capitol Hill through WIPP. Additionally, BWE and Wyndham will attend WIPP's annual meetings to discuss timely issues that are having the largest impact on women in business and work together to determine effective solutions.

"WIPP, due in large part to Wyndham's dedication to women, will be able to better represent all women in business as we gain deeper insight into such a vital segment of the business world," said Terry Neese, president and chief executive officer of WIPP.

Other organizations that are supported by Wyndham's WOMEN ON THEIR WAY program include the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), Meeting Planners International's Women's Leadership Initiative (MPI), and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

As America's leading voice in Washington, D.C. for a diversity of business women and women business owners, WIPP counsels Congressional and Administration leaders on public policies that concern businesses including healthcare, tax incentives and government contract procurement.
