2. Women in Wireless Mission
To empower and develop female leaders in
mobile and digital media.
We do this through leadership development, mentoring,
inspirational series of panels and webinars, job boards,
philanthropic support for relevant charities and networking events.
3. Our History
Women in Wireless was created by a small group of female
business leaders who consistently found themselves sharing
ideas & strategies amongst a sea of men at tech conferences.
They started to formalize their efforts in 2009 by forming
committee called Women in Wireless within the Mobile
Marketing Association, which would both support and develop
female leaders in the mobile industry.
The group attracted such a large membership base that it
decided to form a non-profit corporation in 2011.
Today the group has about 2000 members, consisting of
entrepreneurs, senior executives, and those in junior levels
that seek our support.
4. WiW Membership
