With an average of 15 events annually, our goal is to connect GOV WID members to information and individuals that will have a positive impact on their careers. Luncheons, with high-level speakers, socials, and yoga retreats all create a sense of community for our members.
The Objective of the WID Mentoring program is to support the growth and career development of our members. The program also offers our Mentors an opportunity to share their life and career experiences with women who are new to the Defense industry or at earlier stages in their professional lives. Applications for the program open in late August.
