The annual holiday tea hosted by Executive Women in Government has become an important event for women executives across the federal government. This year's holiday tea held at the Willard Hotel on Thursday, December 14, 2011, attracted over 120 women executives who gathered to network, to contribute to the Marine Corps' Toys for Tots Program and the Wounded Warrior Program, and to honor Marylouise Uhlig as their new President Emerita.
Hosted by President Betsy Smidinger, this year's event proved to be a premier opportunity for members and guests to enjoy a delightful tea and to shop for hats, jewelry, and unique apparel from women vendors. EWG honored Marylouise Uhlig for the body of work she has contributed to women in government for the past 30 years.

The holiday tea attracted both EWG members and guests; among them the 2011 graduating class of proteges who benefited from EWG's mentoring program. “We are delighted that so many of our colleagues were able to come together to launch the holiday season by doing what these federal executives do best--give to those in need and provide support for each other,” Smidinger said. “The Board of Directors of EWG is especially grateful to Marylouise Uhlig for her service, and her colleagues applaud her.”
