The Greater Ohio Valley Women in Defense is a non-profit organization run entirely by a network of dedicated volunteers. Working together, we promote connections and build relationships. As a National Defense Industrial Assocation (NDIA) affiliate, Women in Defense was founded in 1979 to engage, cultivate, and advance women in all aspects of national security.
Whether you are part of a big company or own a small business, corporate sponsors support a number of GOV WID initiatives.
Individual sponsors range from retired officers to supportive spouses. A small gift can make a big impact!
We produce meaningful professional development and networking events that provide members with opportunities to learn, grow, and feel energized about their career.
Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in this area, we formed our organization to provide sensible solutions. We've consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!
We focus on making the maximum positive effort for our community. Our members and volunteers provide the momentum that helps us affect change. Using data driven models, we provide solutions that make a long-lasting difference.
